Reece Walsh Makes Big Contract Call as ‘Crazy’ Queensland Camp Kicks Off
Brisbane Broncos superstar Reece Walsh has made a major decision about his NRL future just as Queensland’s State of Origin camp gets underway in typically intense fashion. The 21-year-old fullback, who has quickly become one of the game’s biggest stars, has reportedly signaled his desire to extend his contract with the Broncos beyond its current expiry in 2025. While no official deal has been signed, Walsh has expressed his loyalty to Brisbane, stating he wants to continue developing under coach Kevin Walters and help the club push for a premiership.
This news comes as the Maroons’ Origin preparations begin in their trademark “crazy” fashion. Walsh, who played a key role in Queensland’s 2023 series victory, has rejoined a squad known for its fierce competitiveness in camp. Early reports suggest players have already been put through grueling sessions as coach Billy Slater looks to maintain the team’s winning mentality.
“Queensland camps are always intense. The way we train, the way we push each other—it’s crazy,” Walsh said. “But that’s what makes the Maroons special.”
Despite his meteoric rise, Walsh remains focused on improving his game, especially his defense and decision-making under pressure. His contract decision will come as a relief to Broncos fans, who feared rival clubs might attempt to lure him away with massive offers.
With the Origin series looming, Walsh’s commitment to both club and state signals his growing maturity and determination to cement himself as one of the NRL’s elite players. For now, his focus remains on Queensland’s preparations, as the Maroons gear up for another brutal battle against the Blues.
