Broncos skipper Adam Reynolds has responded to the fiery on-field confrontation between teammates Reece Walsh and Kotoni Staggs during Brisbane’s 26-14 win over the Gold Coast.

Whatever the issue was between the two was quickly put behind them though, with the star duo combining for Walsh’s stunning long-range try shortly after half time.
Reynolds was asked about the incident between Walsh and Staggs but brushed it off as anything serious.
“We’re trying to be perfect out there, it’s not always trying to go to plan,” Reynolds said in the post-game press conference.
“We’re adults, we talk about the situation when it happens and sure they enough they fixed it up and we scored a long range try
“They’re working hard and it’s good to get that feedback on the field.”
The polarising Walsh enjoyed one of his better outings of the season. In addition to his try, the fullback ran for 125 metres, had five tackle busts, two line break assists and a try assist.
Coach Michael Maguire chimed in on Walsh’s passion for the game and why it makes him great.
“Reecey loves his footy and he’s striving to continuously be the best which is the perfection they’re chasing,” Maguire said.
“Reecey wears his heart on his sleeve and that’s why we love him and why the boys love playing with him.”
Fox League’s Bryan Fletcher agreed with Maguire, believing there’s nothing to see here given Walsh’s tendency to play with immense passion.
“This is the way he plays,” Fletcher said of Walsh.
“He is of high emotion and he thinks his right centre should have caught that ball.”
