Reece Walsh sends footy fans wild with bold fashion statement ahead of Brisbane Broncos NRL grand final against Penrith Panthers
Reece Walsh wants to make a statement in the NRL grand final, but judging by the reaction to his pre-match outfit, he has already achieved that goal.
Walsh has enjoyed a sensational debut season with the Broncos, leading Brisbane to football’s biggest match as Kevin Walters’ side looked to dethrone Penrith in Sydney tonight.
The Maroons star has emerged as one of footy’s top players and on Sunday night he proved he has a fashion sense by rocking out to the Accor Stadium in style.
The young full-back was seen wearing huge sunglasses, understandable given Sydney’s sweltering hot weather, but he didn’t even take them off as he entered the changing rooms.

Walsh’s choice of clothing sent footy fans into a frenzy, with some in favor of his bold fashion statement, while others were less than impressed.
“The hot sun must be affecting Broncos star Reece Walsh’s view in the locker room,” a fan, now known as X, posted on Twitter.
“Reece Walsh looks like he’s about to hit the slopes,” said another fan.

A third fan posted: ‘Reece Walsh wearing Pit Vipers sunglasses into the locker room. I’m not sure if I’m annoyed or impressed.’
“I love Reece Walsh’s glasses,” said another fan. “People should leave him alone and let him enjoy the ride he’s on.”
But one fan wasn’t convinced by Walsh’s fashion sense: “Reece Walsh googled how to make himself look like a huge tool and then showed up with those sunglasses.”
