The Broncos reckon they've cracked the code on how to tidy up their star fullback's game.

The Brisbane Broncos' attacking maestro spilled the beans on their game plan to help Reece Walsh think on his feet by dialing back the pace during matches.

Walsh, known as one of the NRL's speed demons, often finds himself in hot water when his lightning-fast runs lead to costly mistakes.

Despite his electrifying performances on the field, Walsh topped the NRL's error chart last season with a whopping 53 blunders, mostly in handling.

But his highlight-reel plays tend to overshadow his slip-ups.

In a league of his own, Walsh outpaced the next offender by a margin of eight errors.

In a recent clash against the Raiders, Walsh showcased his brilliance by bagging two tries, slicing through the defense thrice, and racking up nearly 200 metres.

However, a trio of bloopers also tarnished his standout showing.

Broncos' mentor Lee Briers spilled the beans on their game plan to curb Walsh's mistakes.

Briers spilled the beans on their game plan to cut out the fumbles by urging Walsh to dial down the speed to give himself more time to call the shots.
