Reece Walsh Double Sin Bin Spurs Raiders Finals Lead

In the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership finals, Broncos star Reece Walsh was involved in a heated incident where he headbutted Raiders' Hudson Young, leading to both players being sin-binned. Walsh admitted to reacting after being baited with a sledge from Young, who called him a "weak-gutted dog," and expressed disappointment in letting his team down during his time off the field. Despite the tension, Walsh helped set up the Broncos' win, while teammate Ben Hunt admitted to celebrating his match-winning field goal too early. The game went into extra time after Walsh was fouled during a field goal attempt, with finals matches using a five-minute extra time each way before proceeding to golden point if necessary. Referee Ashley Klein took disciplinary action by sin-binning both Young and Walsh, noting that while Young instigated the confrontation, Walsh's response was unacceptable. The incident highlighted the intensity and drama of the finals, with Walsh showing both fiery competitiveness and a desire to inspire his team.
