The Brisbane Broncos are looking to shake things up with a bold move involving young gun Reece Walsh as they gear up for a crucial clash with North Queensland on Saturday.
With their NRL finals hopes hanging by a thread, the Broncos have little to lose and everything to gain by making some drastic changes.
Coach Kevin Walters is considering moving Walsh to five-eighth for the upcoming game, following an injury to regular No.6 Ezra Mam.
While Josh Rogers was initially named at five-eighth, Walsh's impressive skills and versatility could see him take on the playmaking role come game day.
The inclusion of Tristan Sailor on the bench also hints at a potential positional switch for Walsh.
Although it's a risky move, Walters and the Broncos know they have to take bold actions if they want to keep their season alive.
With their finals chances looking bleak, the team will have to win every remaining game to stand a chance.
In addition to the potential positional change for Walsh, Walters has also made the tough call to drop veteran winger Corey Oates for the clash against the Cowboys.
Despite Oates carrying some minor injuries, his absence from the lineup shows that Walters is not afraid to make hard decisions in pursuit of victory.
As the Broncos prepare for a crucial showdown, they are aware that they must leave it all on the field and fight until the final whistle blows.
With their backs against the wall, the team will need to dig deep and show resilience in the face of adversity.
