The NRL may have been singing Reece Walsh's praises since his debut, but he got a reality check from his own club recently.
Brisbane Broncos showed they can survive without star player Adam Reynolds in a solid 30-14 victory over the Eels in Parramatta.
The Broncos, despite not playing their best, capitalized on Eels' mistakes with two long-range tries in the first half, leaving Parramatta struggling to recover after squandering numerous scoring opportunities in the second half.
In classic rugby league fashion, the rain-soaked game at CommBank Stadium was a tough battle, but the Broncos' young guns stepped up when it mattered.
While Walsh is known for his moments of brilliance, his high error rate has been a cause for concern.
Last week's match against the Roosters saw Walsh making four errors, prompting Broncos coach to call him out on it.
Despite the ups and downs, it seems like Walsh is taking it all in stride.
"Kevvie gave me some pills," he cheekily replied when asked about his performance.
It looks like the young gun is ready to bounce back and show what he's made of in the next game.
