Brisbane is now just one victory away from the NRL grand final, thanks to a dramatic 29-28 qualifying-final win over Canberra, highlighted by Ben Hunt's 93rd-minute field goal.
After a brief stint in the sin bin, Walsh showcased his resilience by spearheading the Broncos' comeback from a 28-12 deficit with only 14 minutes remaining.
Walsh first covered 40 metres to score a try, then provided a key pass to set up Jordan Karapani for the second try, before delivering a crucial 40-20 kick that led to another scoring opportunity.
As the Broncos trailed 28-26 with the end of regular time looming, Walsh's attempt at a two-point field goal was interrupted when Zac Hosking took out his leg, resulting in a penalty that allowed him to equalize from under the posts.
The match proceeded into an intense extra time where neither team could find the winning edge.
In golden point, Canberra mistakenly thought they had clinched victory when Jamal Fogarty scored, but the bunker intervened to annul the try due to a knock on by Jed Stuart during the play.
Taking advantage of the following set, Brisbane drove downfield, and Hunt's perfectly executed field goal from 38 metres ultimately secured the victory, propelling the Broncos into the third week of the finals.
