Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3590046, member: 9853"] [I]Badel reports the Broncos are in extension talks with Walsh, and he's "set to" become the highest-paid player in Broncos history with a 150% pay rise ( $1.1 million). He's been saying this for months, so it's hard to say what's changed. [B]Walters:[/B][/I] [INDENT=2]“Reece won’t be going anywhere. I’ve just mortgaged the house to keep him here. A lot of those guys who have re-signed ... Ezra is another one, we did deals for Payne and Patty last year, they are long-term players here for the club. Walshy is no different. We love having him here and he enjoys being around the place as well.”[/INDENT] [I][B]Donuts:[/B][/I] [INDENT=2]“I had never met Reece before he left for the Warriors, but when I met him for the first time and saw him walk through, it was like he never left the Broncos. Reece has done a brilliant job on and off the field at our club since he has been back. I know how diligent he is in preparing for his games, so when you see how hard he works, it’s no surprise to see the performances he is able to put in on the field. The challenge for Reece is to be consistent. That is something that he has as a goal for this year and no doubt ‘Kev’ will be working closely to help him achieve that. Until you walk in these guys’ shoes, you’re not sure. You don’t know what they are experiencing. The challenge for our club is to ensure we put the appropriate pieces around them to succeed off the field, but also on the field."[/INDENT] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] [INDENT=2]“There is no doubting Reece’s popularity. I’m sure he is inspiring a generation of future young fullbacks coming through. I have found him to be really grounded. I have found Reece to be really patient and accommodating for people that are wanting photos or selfies and that’s an important part of being a professional footballer these days. He understands that and is taking it in his stride. I am sure there will be ups and downs with Reece, he is only a young man, but we will do everything we can to support him and help him realise his potential.”[/INDENT] [I][B]Haas:[/B][/I] [INDENT=2]“I am hopeful he signs. I want to keep Reece here, but at the end of the day that’s his decision and I’m not going to tell him what to do. We want him here and hopefully he does re-sign. I’m confident he won’t leave.”[/INDENT] [I][B]Parker:[/B][/I] [INDENT=2]“Reece needs to be the highest paid player at the Broncos _ that’s how you keep Reece. Name me a club out there that wouldn’t pay $1 million, or more, for him? I have never seen anyone with his following. There were girls running in front of the bus and screaming for his autograph. He brings eyeballs to the Broncos. I know they don’t need Reece for that reason, but he brings so much more than what he brings on the field. From a marketing perspective, he’s a dream for the Broncos. At the moment, he is fresh and shiny, but as classy as he is, he has a bit to work on as a fullback. The challenge for Reece will be repeating the brilliant season he had last year.”[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
