Eddie Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Anyone criticising this probably hasn’t seen Walsh play, one of the most exciting talents in years. I think it’s good for them to give him some SOO experience and tie him into the Maroons for years to come, despite his young age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunbar Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 While State of Origin has been sanitised in recent years with all the foul play tidied up, it is still very physical. I worry about whether Walsh is physically durable enough at this stage. I hope so though. This will go one of two ways. Either he will have a blinder or be found out as not ready. I hope it is the former but I fear it won't be. "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

Vyvyan Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Walsh is an excellent prospect. If he was English he'd be straight in the national side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Australians are far better at giving young kids a chance representatively. If he was English he would have to go on loan to a Championship club for a season and then play a 100 Super League games to 'learn his trade' before we was given a chance. We don't back talent nearly as much as the Aussies.

If it wasn't for RTS leaving the Warriors, he would probably have spent a lot of this year 'learning his trade' in QCup anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Reece Walsh has now been ruled out of contention for Origin 2.

He wasn't born in Queensland (he was born in Aukland) and so according to the eligibility rules he needed to have been a resident of Queensland before his 13th birthday.

The number of Islanders in the NRL has really grown in the past 20 years. One of his parents is Aboriginal, how Australian do you want him to be? Talent is secondary to whether players are confident.

One certain poster tells us there has never been so many top class fullbacks and the SL doesn't have one to compete with them, so are they all from overseas or NSW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the 8 fullbacks better than Walsh, 6 are from NSW. The two Queenslanders are injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought this was a golden age of fullbacks, didn't think there. Would be a need to try unproven 18 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
