Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Reece Walsh caught a ball thrown by Tom Brady in stride across the ballroom.
Looking straight at Broncos boss Dave Donaghy, who was in the crowd, Walsh responded: “Did you hear that, Dave?”
Plenty of Walsh’s Broncos teammates were in the room, as were players from the Redcliffe Dolphins.
Broncos star Reece Walsh has taken a cheeky dig at club CEO Dave Donaghy over the amount of his next potential contract.
Walsh was on stage during NFL legend Tom Brady’s Brisbane leg of his Australian speaking tour, with event MC JT Foxx telling the star fullback, “With your looks and skills, you’re looking at $25m to $30m a year, and that’s US.”
According to the SMH, Walsh turned to Donaghy in the crowd and said, “Did you hear that, Dave?”
One of the highlights from Sunday’s show at the Brisbane Showgrounds was Brady hurling the ball from the stage to Walsh who caught it on the run, then spiked it American football style as the audience went wild.
Brady later signed the ball for Walsh, who was labelled the “Tom Brady of Queensland” when he was introduced to speak on stage before the star act.
Asked if he had ever given thought to playing in the NFL, Walsh said not until now, but was aware “there’s bit more money there”.
