Definitely not a big issue. Pretty funny a professional athlete feels the need to snap back to a young fan with a personal insult though.

Reece needs to harden up.
Yeah I sort of agree with that - if anything he had the chance to reply with something clever and burn the kid - but he's a known hot-head though...

In the old days they probably would have got a sharp punch to the nose and then the player could have explained over a beer that it could have easily been avoided.
Curran would have punched his teeth out now
May would have thrown him to the ground and got suspended after he retired (for the fans)

If you're gonna return serve have something better than that Reece.

Yeah that's my feeling too.
Kid put himself in the position to have something hurled back but leave the mums out of it.

End of the day Walsh needs to be smarter, knows the media are going to target him now so don't give them easy fodder.

And this is why club footy will always mean more to NSW players and fans than origin ..

The reactions each year to winning the title , are off the charts ..

I have no issues with that side.
The only one I question is Val given the current situation he finds himself in.

oh and maybe Teddie, who is past his best IMHO (watch him kill it now)

Yeah I'm a little surprised there isn't really another fullback in there in addition to Teddy. I know you have Val and Hammer, but neither will be the long term 1 in this side. I think Ponga deserved to be there, and if not him Walsh would have learned a lot.

I haven't heard, but presumably Ponga is recovering from his AC injury? Walsh probably unlucky, but they said he can only play fullback so they didn't pick him

Staggs the other interesting one for me.
