はびこる Walsh 率s と一緒に Bronco legend: Walters
Brisbane coach Kevin Walters has に例えるd the electrifying movement of 星／主役にする fullback Reece Walsh to club legend Darren Lockyer in a comparison that sums up the 衝撃 the 21-year-old is having on the team.
Walsh was はびこる in the 42-12 予選 final 勝利，勝つ over the 軍人s and his 業績／成果 in next Sunday's grand final against Penrith will be 決定的な in the 結果.
Walsh had six line-break 補助装置s and three try 補助装置s against the 軍人s.
Lockyer won four 肩書を与えるs with the Broncos, three of them while playing in the No.1 jersey.
A hallmark of Lockyer's play was to ghost into the line, （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 the outside defenders with 速度(を上げる） and 始める，決める up his centres and wingers for tries with インチ-perfect passes.
Walsh is quicker across the turf and has the same 影響（力） on play.
He has often been に例えるd to a young Billy Slater but the Lockyer 言及／関連 did not escape Walters.
"It's not so much his 速度(を上げる）, it's the way he changes direction quickly," Walters said.
"Billy Slater is the closest I have seen. Darren Lockyer was one of the fastest guys in that sort of movement that I played with. He gets across the ground rather quickly."
Lockyer, who was working with the Nine 網状組織 commentary team on Saturday night at Suncorp Stadium, was enthused with what he saw from Walsh.
"The 疑問 Reece is 原因（となる）ing when he skips across the field at pace is 原因（となる）ing havoc," Lockyer said.
"Every time ... he is running with 速度(を上げる）."
Those comments could easily have been made about a young Lockyer in his pomp.
Broncos legend and four-tim e 首相の職 勝利者 Steve Renouf was in the sheds after the 軍人s 勝利，勝つ.
Many of his 142 Broncos tries （機の）カム off Lockyer passes and Renouf 公式文書，認めるd the Walsh similarities.
"Like Locky, what Reece does for this team is amazing. He did it on the left 味方する tonight, 同様に and what he does on the 権利 味方する with (Kotoni) Staggs and (Selwyn) Cobbo is lethal," Renouf said.
"Reece just creates space for everyone outside him.
"When have we seen Kotoni run a 穴を開ける? Only with Reece (伴う／関わるd). Kotoni wants to run over people like Justin Hodges used to, but Reece brings Kotoni in."
Walters said halfback, captain and 2014 首相の職 勝利者 Adam Reynolds was the "big fish" the Broncos 最初 調印するd last year.
Walsh was at the Broncos in 2021 and left for the 軍人s before returning this season.
"He is a bigger, faster fish ... and a younger one too," Walters said of the Walsh re-調印.
That's an off-the-cuff Walters-style comment but a telling 査定／評価 of Walsh's pedigree.
The young gun threw a 削減（する）-out pass 早期に against the 軍人s that was 迎撃するd by winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, who 得点する／非難する／２０d.
That did not dent his 信用／信任 one bit.
"I was fortunate enough to coach Billy Slater at the 嵐／襲撃する and he had the same mindset," Walters said.
"It is a 広大な／多数の／重要な 技術 of his to do what he does, but then to move on.
"He is very strong-minded to be able to do that, because a lot of other blokes would 落ちる by the wayside."
