Broncos table lucrative $6 million offer to superstar fullback Reece Walsh
Walsh's average wage will come to $12 million per season – the largest ever afforded a Brisbane player
The Brisbane Broncos have reportedly tabled a lucrative $6 million offer to superstar fullback Reece Walsh in a bid to secure his services beyond 2023.
Walsh, 20, is one of the most sought-after players in the NRL and has been linked with a move to the Sydney Roosters and the New Zealand Warriors.
However, the Broncos are determined to keep Walsh at Red Hill and have offered him a five-year deal worth $5.5 million.
The fact that the Broncos have the salary cap space to fit Walsh in is the result of some tough calls made by the club's management.
Brisbane have released a number of high-profile players in recent months, including David Fifita, Tevita Pangai Junior and Matt Lodge.
Those moves have freed up enough money for the Broncos to make a play for Walsh, who is seen as a key part of the club's future.
If Walsh accepts the Broncos' offer, he will become the highest-paid player in the club's history.
