A teenage fan got under the skin of Reece Walsh, but Penrith will resist trying to do likewise on the big stage.
Penrith deny they will try to unsettle Reece Walsh after he was caught reacting to a throwaway line from a young Panthers’ fan at an NRL function on Thursday.
Penrith playmaker Jarome Luai has also been involved in heated on-field altercations with Walsh, most notably during Origin II at Suncorp Stadium, after which both players were sent off. ARL Commission chairman Peter V’landys is a big fan of Walsh, but told 2GB that he “has got to do better than that” when it comes to controlling his emotions.Broncos coach Kevin Walters was in no mood on Saturday to discuss the Walsh incident. Walters also said it would be impossible for Penrith to keep him quiet for the entire 80 minutes.
“[But] it’s nearly impossible to eliminate all good players. They are going to have some sort of impact on the game, so it’s up to us more than anything Penrith do to bring Reece into the game and give him those opportunities that he provides.“That’s why he is at the club, that’s why he has had such a good year, because teams have tried to shut him down, they may be effective in some space, but sooner or later he is going to do something.
