The first week of finals has come and gone, and it\u2019s an injured Broncos gun who shone bright in one of the most memorable match-ups in recent NRL history.<\/p>\n

Billy Walters, playing at five-eighth while both Adam Reynolds and Ezra Mam are sidelined, leads the Westpac Red Zone MVP leaderboard for this week.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old assisted two tries and contributed to another in Brisbane\u2019s 28-28 win over Canberra.<\/p>\n

It has since emerged Walters has suffered an ACL injury, with the remainder of his season in doubt despite Michael Maguire\u2019s outfit enjoying a week off after booking a preliminary finals appearance.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Nathan Cleary, Harry Grant, Blayke Brailey and Kotoni Staggs feature on this week\u2019s leaderboard.<\/p>\n
