He\u2019s a world class player and if you give him an opportunity, he\u2019s going to take it.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s like the same as us. If they give us opportunities, we\u2019re going to take it.<\/p>\n \u201cI guess it\u2019s just trying to minimise (Cleary\u2019s impact) and I\u2019m looking forward to the challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n The NRL 360 panel discussed Walsh\u2019s comments on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n \u201cHow does he deal with us? I love that. That\u2019s such a great response from Reece Walsh,\u201d host Braith Anasta said.<\/p>\n The Daily Telegraph reporter Paul Crawley agreed with Anasta.<\/p>\n \u201cI loved what Walsh said then,\u201d Crawley said.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve had a crack at him in the past for being too cocky and different things but that\u2019s just honest self belief.<\/p>\n \u201cHe believes he\u2019s at the peak of his powers right now.<\/p>\n \u201cThat performance when he came on against the Raiders (in the qualifying final) was something special.\u201d<\/p>\n The Daily Telegraph journalist Dean Ritchie felt Cleary had the edge in the clash between the two superstars of the game.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you\u2019re going to pit the two stars against each other, I know whose game I\u2019d like to be backing under pressure,\u201d Ritchie added.<\/p>\n \u201cNathan, in the finals, is irresistible.<\/p>\n \u201cWhere I think Reece Walsh, as brilliant as he is, can be temperamental.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m sure they\u2019ll sledge him, they might bowl him over after he\u2019s passed the ball.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ll be up in his grill, because they know if he is temperamental that he can unravel to some degree, where, the iceman, will never, ever get rattled.\u201d<\/p>\n But Anasta believes Walsh is playing too well to be put off his game.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s at different levels now though, Reece. This is career-best form for him,\u201d Anasta said.<\/p>\n Co-host Gorden Tallis agreed.<\/p>\n \u201cHis 20 minutes against Canberra, with 16 points down,\u201d Tallis said.<\/p>\n Crawley chimed in again.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd that was on the back of the Melbourne performance (in Round 27) too where he was faultless,\u201d Crawley said.<\/p>\n MORE NRL NEWS<\/p>\n 2025 BREAKOUT STARS: Eels\u2019 gamble pays off; Red V mistake proves costly<\/a><\/p>\n RESSIES WRAP: Cobbo\u2019s timely return; Tuaupiki masterclass sends Warriors to GF<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
