Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3585136, member: 9853"] He's said multiple times he'd like to transition into halfback when Reyno leaves, and Walters hasn't shut it down, but he's not rushing him into the role. For example, in April last year: [I][B]Walters:[/B][/I] [INDENT=2]“I certainly think Ezra can play seven. Right now, he is mastering the No.6 jumper. One of the things we are always working on with Ezra is his talk. He can go a bit quiet out on the field when he gets a bit tired or things aren’t quite going his way, so we are working hard on his communication with the spine and with those around him. But Ezra has come a long way over the past 12 months. He brings good energy and while attack comes naturally to Ezra, I really like what he has brought in defence this season.”[/INDENT] [I][B]Ezra:[/B][/I] [INDENT=2]"I would love to become a ‘seven’ here. I still have to develop my game management, but I am learning from ‘Reyno’ every week and he has been a great mentor for me. Right now, while Adam is there, obviously I’m enjoying five-eighth and he is making my job easy as a six. But eventually, I would like to steer the team around as I get older. As a kid, I played fullback or lock until I got to under-15s and everyone started running over me, so I decided to become a ball-player. It’s been a great learning curve at six alongside Reyno, but eventually I want to turn into a halfback.”[/INDENT] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] [INDENT=2]“Last year, Reyno took good care of me, but this year he is letting me play footy. He said, ‘If you see anything, just take it’, so he is there to steer the ship around, but also lets me have some freedom with ‘Walshy’ to play what we see. I hold the Broncos’ history of great playmakers close to me and use that as a bit of motivation for myself to go out and play good footy. The people who have worn the No.6 jersey and the success that they have had, I want to keep that success rolling for myself and the team. It’s definitely good having the six jersey at the moment.”[/INDENT] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] [INDENT=2]“Walshy and I are just trying to build our own connection. We are trying to be our own players and if we form a good connection, hopefully we can turn out as good as Bowen and Thurston did. Reece and myself have a good combination. We have the ability to switch roles. Sometimes he will step up and be the ball-player and I can go to the back. We have the freedom to pop up where we want and that has worked well.”[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
