RL:Supersub Walsh happy to play front row for Queensland

Reece Walsh has declared he is ready to be inserted in the halves or anywhere Queensland put him as he prepares to venture into the unknown in his State of Origin recall.

The 23-year-old Brisbane fullback, named at No.18 ahead of the Origin showdown in Melbourne on June 17, grew up playing in the halves and is also cover should there be an injury to the Maroons playmakers.

Walsh is also aware that starting fullback Kalyn Ponga debuted for the Maroons in 2018 in a roving lock position and did a great job.

"The way the game is going these days, the ball in play and the penalty count, it's crazy at the moment," Walsh said.

"I can bring some spark and be that point of difference. Tired bodies, that's something I hunt for in games and if I do play a short or long time, I'm prepared to do it for the team.
