QLDER<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cYou think about touching the football, he touched it a lot, and when you have your best player touching the football that team\u2019s generally going to be more successful. And when Reece gets hot, Reece gets hot, as we saw last year.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut there is a freedom that comes with playing fullback. When you\u2019re playing seven or six there is more controlling the game, organising your middle forwards, you are parked on one side of the field, you\u2019ve got to defend more – there are so many challenges and changes there.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdam Reynolds, Ben Hunt, Ezra Mam, they are doing that kind of stuff for (Walsh) and then he can chime in when he wants to.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes Reece could play seven, he could play six. Personally, I probably see it later in his career when he slows down and loses a step, he can create and manage a team, kick and do his thing.<\/p>\n

The Broncos stunned the Panthers to keep their finals dream alive.\u00a0Getty Images<\/p>\n
\u201cBut right now I think his best position is at one.\u201d<\/p>\n
Walsh was the star of last year\u2019s NRL finals series and led the Broncos to their first men\u2019s premiership since 2006.<\/p>\n
But the team faces an uphill battle to play finals at all this season, sitting 13th on the ladder and fighting with several other teams for the last couple of spots inside the top eight.<\/p>\n
While they only sit one win behind the Storm (11th) and Raiders (12th), Brisbane\u2019s for-and-against is much worse and they effectively have to win all seven games on the run home.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor and against is a bit of a challenge for Brisbane, that\u2019s basically another win (they need),\u201d Boyd said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether they make finals, or are the team that stops some teams playing finals… it\u2019s going to be an interesting month for the Broncos coming up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hampering the team\u2019s run home is the fitness of veteran halfback Reynolds.<\/p>\n
Nine\u2019s Adam Jackson is adamant the playmaker is battling an injury and fears it could derail the team\u2019s push for finals.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdam Reynolds is clearly injured, we saw it against the Panthers the other night,\u201d Jackson said on QLDER.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s affected his kicking. How long he can last in that condition is a hugely pivotal factor. Something is clearly hindering him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m surprised last week they didn\u2019t have Billy Walters on the bench.\u201d<\/p>\n
