Reece Walsh in action for Brisbane Broncos in 2025

Brisbane Broncos have condemned a ‘poor attempt at humour’ from Reece Walsh and urged people not to follow his advice after the star posted a video on social media drinking from a toilet, labelling it a ‘new form of recovery’.

Michael Maguire’s Broncos recorded a 38-30 win away against North Queensland Cowboys on Saturday in a game which saw Walsh earn 14 of their points via a try and five conversions.

With just one round remaining of the ‘regular’ season, that victory moved them up to fourth on the NRL ladder.

Full-back Walsh is no stranger to a strange social media video having had to issue an apology back in May after footage emerged of him punching someone in the head during a TikTok video, later discovered to have been a joke with his best friend.

But the video he posted on Snapchat over the weekend was even stranger, with the 23-year-old drinking from a toilet as he flushed it and saying, ‘they reckon there’s a new form of recovery to recover the muscles, toilet water … give it a little drink.’

With the video going viral and causing plenty of outrage Down Under over the weekend, the Broncos issued a statement on the matter to Australian outlet The Sydney Morning Herald.

In that statement, the club say: “Brisbane Broncos are aware of a video posted by Reece Walsh on a social media platform.

“The club can clarify that Walsh is currently renovating his home and has installed a brand-new toilet in a new bathroom, which remains unused.

“The video represents a poor attempt at humour posted privately by Walsh.

“No one should take this video seriously or act upon the advice.”
