Reece Walsh will play fullback for Brisbane for the first time in an NRL match with his confidence sky high after taking to heart wisdom from modern great Billy Slater.
Walsh has been named at No.1 in the Broncos side to play North Queensland at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night after missing the opening round 13-12 win over Penrith with a fractured eye socket.
The 20-year-old former New Zealand Warrior has been in touch with Queensland coach Slater, who put an indelible stamp on the way fullback is played in the modern game.
