Maroons coach Billy Slater was visibly frustrated as he flat batted questions about Walsh's readiness Slater then expanded on why he believes the 20-year-old Broncos star is ready to take the representative arena by storm.
Walsh is set to start in the No.1 jersey for Queensland for the first time in his career on Wednesday night Despite Slater's defence of Walsh, NSW coach Brad Fittler said his side would look to put the pressure on the Origin debutant come Wednesday night."Well any fullback you need to put under pressure," he said.
"But it's his first game and that's important, so we need to make sure that he understands it's a step up and we'll be trying to do that by holding the ball and giving him some kicks to chase and just doing what we do to any fullback."Walsh's opposite number, Blues skipper James Tedesco, will be playing in his 21st Origin contest, confirmed that the young gun would be feeling the nerves.
