In a recent twist of fate, Tristan Sailor has found himself in the spotlight wearing the coveted No.1 jersey for the Broncos while Reece Walsh is on the mend.
With Walsh sidelined for the next few weeks due to a heated incident with Taylan May that left him with a fractured cheekbone, Sailor has been given the opportunity to shine.
Despite being in Walsh's shadow in 2024, Sailor's performance in the recent game against the Cowboys caught the eye of many spectators.
The son of NRL legend Wendell Sailor, Tristan showcased his X-factor with an impressive 198-metre run and five tackle busts that sparked the Broncos' attack.
While Sailor aims to secure a spot in the starting lineup, NRL veteran Scott Sattler advises him to make the most of his time in the limelight.
With his contract expiration looming, Sattler urges Sailor to leave a lasting impression on potential suitors with his on-field prowess.
As the Broncos navigate through Walsh's absence, Sailor's stellar performance has not gone unnoticed, setting the stage for a potential shake-up in the team's dynamics.
With only one No.1 jersey up for grabs, the competition between Walsh and Sailor is set to heat up, adding an extra layer of excitement to the Broncos' season.
