Reece Walsh, the Broncos fullback, faces a tough recovery after injuring his posterior cruciate ligament in round 7 against the Warriors.
Despite his enthusiasm for the State of Origin series opener on May 28, he admits, "No, probably not the first Origin." With an expected recovery time of 4-6 weeks, he acknowledges that missing the opener could lead to Kalyn Ponga taking his position.
Walsh expressed cautious optimism about his knee's condition, stating, "It's holding up pretty well at the moment, but hopefully I can get through the rehab and see how we go." He mentions the competition with teammate Selwyn Cobbo for the No.1 jersey once he returns.
