'I'm going to help you win the comp': Walsh fulfils Broncos promise

In a standout performance hailed as one of the best in grand final history, Walsh honored his commitment to lead the Broncos to victory. He acknowledged the contributions of Reynolds and coach Michael Maguire, who played pivotal roles in securing South Sydney's long-awaited premiership in 2014 after 43 years.

Now, Reynolds and Maguire have worked together again to help the Broncos break their 19-year title drought, though the experienced halfback did not complete the match.

Reflecting on the intense pre-season army camps and the rigorous focus on goal-line defense mandated by Maguire, Walsh emphasized that all the hard work had proven to be worthwhile.
