Brisbane booked their place in the NRL grand final in emphatic fashion, and perhaps revealed the blueprint to beating the Panthers in the process.
The ascension of Reece Walsh from prodigious talent to a mastermind of the big stage has had another chapter inscribed in its pages, as the dynamic fullback led the Broncos to a grand final berth.
Brisbane were quick to heap the pressure on, as a series of offloads put Payne Haas in open space. A shift to the left on last tackle ended with a Jesse Arthars try in the corner, before Walsh stood up yet again.Another procession of offloads put the No.1 in the clear, before he found Walters on his inside to cross for a double.
He earned an early rest with five minutes left in the contest, as he plots another spectacle to break the Broncos’ 17-year title drought.Offload onslaught a blueprint to beat Panthers? Three of the Broncos’ four first-half tries came on the back of several offloads – the half-time count 15 to New Zealand’s four.
