The future of Reece Walsh's $5 million contract with the Brisbane Broncos has been thrown into doubt following Kevin Walters' departure as coach.
The young fullback, known to have a good relationship with the coach, now faces uncertainty as questions loom over what Walters' exit means for his contract extension.
The Broncos shocked fans when they revealed Walters had 'stepped down' as coach, amid speculation that he was actually sacked.
The team's drastic fall from grace in 2024, going from making the grand final to finishing 12th and missing the finals, led to an independent review that reportedly highlighted issues with standards at the club and Walters' leadership.
With two years left on his contract, Walters left the team immediately, triggering speculation about his replacement and how it will impact Walsh's future.
Despite reports of Walsh agreeing to a lucrative four-year deal, worth $5 million, he has yet to officially sign on the dotted line.
As the Broncos navigate this coaching shake-up, fans and analysts are left wondering if Walsh will stay on board or if his contract will go down as just another unfulfilled promise in Rugby League history.
Only time will tell if Walsh's future lies with the Broncos or if he will be lured away by a rival team looking to secure a rising star in the league.
