Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3470657, member: 9853"] [I][B]Belcher:[/B][/I] [INDENT]"In a big city like Brisbane where they are a big team in town, it’s important Reece doesn’t get carried away. I saw so many kids coming through the Broncos and they think they are superstars before they have done anything. The minute they have played five games for the Broncos, everyone is patting them on the back. That doesn’t help immature young players, there is so much potential at the Broncos, but the most important part of the job is keeping your feet on the ground. In the case of Reece Walsh, he can’t get carried away with his importance and position at the Broncos. He is another piece of the puzzle. If he plays every game and gets Brisbane to the finals, you can get excited about that, but Reece has a hell of a long way to go.”[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“I know the Broncos let Tesi go but Reece is the classier of the two. It was a mixed year for Reece last year. He was really good at times and it probably reflected the way his side went. There’s a bunch of great fullbacks in the NRL, you look at Papenhuyzen at Melbourne and James Tedesco at the Roosters. It has become the go-to position now, but Reece has to be careful because he has a long way to go in his career. You look at the consistency of James Tedesco, that’s what Reece should be aiming for. He needs to be doing it year upon year and that’s when people can say, yes he’s a great player. At the moment, he is a good player with a lot of potential.”[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“Reece is a key part of the solution to get the Broncos to the finals. They were virtually a finals team last year and then fell off a cliff, so with Reece Walsh and Taupau coming in, I’m sure they can be a top-eight team. Reece is Brisbane’s key off-season buy and he is maturing, he is getting older and he will get better. I know he has some defensive issues but you can fix that and work on that. He has speed and skill and he has gifts a lot of players haven’t got. He has the footy smarts. I think he can be outstanding for the Broncos."[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“I like the pure speed that Reece has. Not all fullbacks have that raw speed, but Reece can really motor and he is not afraid to get in there and have a crack. He is still only young, so his best years are ahead at the Broncos.”[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
