In a stunning display of skill and determination, young gun Reece Walsh put on a show as the Broncos triumphed over the Rabbitohs in a pulsating NRL showdown.
The match, billed as a battle of the NRL fullbacks, saw Walsh emerge victorious with a stellar performance that included two tries, five tackle breaks, a line break, and 127 running metres.
However, in a moment that will be hard to forget, Walsh found himself turned around as Latrell Mitchell breezed past him to score a late consolation try.
Despite Mitchell's strong showing with 177 running metres, a try, and several key plays, including a failed clean-up attempt that led to Walsh's second try, it was Walsh who ultimately stole the spotlight.
However, in a twist of fate, Mitchell managed to slip through the Broncos defense in the dying minutes of the game, leaving Walsh in his dust as he crossed the try line.
While Walsh may have claimed victory over his rival, letting Mitchell score in the final moments of the game was a bitter pill to swallow.
As the rugby league world erupts with talk of the clash between these two talented fullbacks, Walsh will need to regroup and ensure such lapses do not occur in future matches.
The stage is set for an epic rematch as these two players continue to push the boundaries of what it means to be a fullback in the NRL.
