Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3696708, member: 1769"] Madge apparently tried to get Walsh to defect to the Kiwis when he was coaching the NZ side. [B]Madge praises Walsh:[/B] “I’m loving working with Reece. He is a special talent, but what I like is that he has the work ethic to get better. “He’s our Ferrari. “He is a huge footy head. I reckon he watches more footy than anyone else here, so I like the fact I can have lengthy discussions with him and I’d like to think he is learning a lot at the moment too. “Reece had a tough year last year but I am confident he will bounce back.” “There’s no doubt Reece is very talented and wants to be one of the greats of the game. To do that, you have to turn up consistently over periods of time, year after year, whether it’s Reece or whoever,” Maguire said. “I’ve found that Reece genuinely loves the game. He could talk football all day. He wants to get better. “I think he can take his footy to another level. It’s exciting from my point of view where I feel we can take his game.” “I actually tried to get him to play for the Kiwis, but I think he wanted to go through the Origin pathway and potentially play for Australia,” Maguire said.
