The effects of Joseph Suaalii’s knock-out blow could be seen in every part of Reece Walsh’s game on Wednesday night.
It’s not often you see Reece Walsh short-circuiting in a big game, but as Latrell Mitchell soared over for the Blues’ fourth try, a worried look washed over the young star’s face.NSW had barely touched the 21-year-old Maroons fullback, but it appeared that the knock-out blow from Joseph Suaalii in game one had rocked Walsh more than he’d let on, and the lingering effects were present in every part of his game.
As the game’s most marketable man flashed onto the big screen at the MCG just before half-time, his eyes were wide, hands in his hair – it was a deer-in-the-headlights look that mirrored that of Billy Slater up in the coaches box.It was the little things that ate away at Walsh across the 80 minutes, but even as he went to the sheds at half-time, he was a shell of the player that turns up for Brisbane each week.
When Walsh tried to break through the Blues left-edge defence, Mitchell repelled him like a force field. The Blues message to Walsh was clear: no matter where you go, no matter what you do, we’ll drive you out of the game.on the Maroons – outwitted, outplayed, outlasted.
