Reece Walsh had just enjoyed coffee with some of his Broncos teammates and was walking down the street in Parramatta on Friday morning when a busload of school girls spotted him.Never has there been such pandemonium for the Broncos this side of the NSW-Queensland border – and Walsh’s megastar profile is the key to it.
During the recent school holidays in Queensland, thousands of fans packed Red Hill to watch the Broncos train. It is not uncommon for parents living in remote Queensland towns to pull their kids out of school and drive for four to five hours each way to see the players.The club has built a new steel fence at the back of the club, and employed security guards, just so the players can get to their cars without being mobbed by fans who are prepared to wait hours after any given training session.
Walsh had 379,000 Instagram followers back then; more than every club except the Broncos. As of Saturday morning, Walsh’s following had ballooned to 458,000. The club’s media team has struggled to produce in-house interviews with players because of the constant screeching from young fans in the background.
