Reece Walsh and Ben Hunt were heavily criticized for their poor performance in the Broncos' loss to the Roosters, with many calling their showing "terrible." The Broncos were expected to win after their big victory in Round 1, but the Roosters pulled off a surprising upset.
The team looked disjointed in attack, particularly with Walsh failing to make his usual impact and not clicking with Hunt.
Pundits were quick to slam the Broncos' inconsistent attack and Hunt's struggles to utilize Walsh effectively.
There is now speculation that the Broncos may need to reconsider their plan and bring Ezra Mam straight in at five-eighth when he returns from suspension in Round 10.
Walsh had previously hinted at the possibility of being demoted to reserve grade if the team's attack continued to falter.
Melbourne Storm legend Cameron Smith raised doubts about whether coach Michael Maguire will be forced to make the switch earlier than planned, given the ongoing struggles in the halves.
The disappointing loss to the Roosters has raised concerns about the Broncos' ability to perform consistently and find success in the competition.
Fans and critics alike have expressed frustration at the team's lackluster showing, with Walsh and Hunt receiving the brunt of the criticism for their below-par performances.
As the pressure mounts on the struggling side, the decision to potentially bring Mam into the starting lineup sooner rather than later is being mulled over as a solution to their attacking woes.
With the season progressing and the Broncos facing tough competition, the urgency to address their struggles and turn their fortunes around is becoming increasingly apparent.
