Rising rugby league star Reece Walsh has been banned from three matches, including State of Origin III, after a contrary conduct charge was upheld against him due to an incident in the Broncos' loss to the Titans. The verdict was not clear cut, with the two-man panel unable to agree, forcing judiciary chair Geoff Bellew to use his casting vote. Walsh's fate hinged on whether the fullback directed his tirade at referee Chris Butler or at teammate Patrick Carrigan. Ultimately, the NRL Judiciary counsel's argument prevailed, with Walsh now set to miss out on several key games.
