Reece Walsh, the shining star of the league, once again failed to perform when it mattered most, leaving his state high and dry in a time of need.
The folks over at news.com.au have noted that Walsh's recent Origin series was a complete flop, not even garnering praise from his most die-hard fans or the toughest judges.
Despite his undeniable talent, questions have resurfaced about Walsh's tendency to vanish when the pressure is on and the spotlight is at its brightest.
While it's likely that he will bounce back from this setback, there's no denying that he'll need to do some serious soul-searching in the aftermath of Wednesday night's defeat, assuming he can see past his numerous injuries.
In case you missed it, Walsh was a walking wounded warrior at the end of the game, resembling a Christmas tree in a blizzard with injuries to his ribs, hips, and thighs.
He was covered in ice packs like a seasoned footy player after a tough match, leaving even the toughest Eskies feeling envious.
