There must be something in the water in Queensland. How else do you explain Broncos superstar Reece Walsh drinking from his own toilet over the weekend?
The same Brisbane and Queensland star who thought it was funny to punch his mate and upload it to social media earlier this year has again raised eyebrows with his latest online stunt.
In terms of atrocities, Walsh’s antics are at the loo-er end of the scale.
Walsh is seen leaning over a brand-new toilet in a home he is renovating in the Queensland capital before telling his Snapchat followers how “there’s a new form of recovery” that helps “the muscles”.
“Toilet water … give it a little drink,” says Walsh, before leaning down to cup his hand with some toilet water.
Walsh does not hurt anyone in the video, nor do anything illegal, but there will be plenty of fans wondering why he would post such a thing.

In his defence, the way Walsh has been performing the past month for the Broncos, especially the past fortnight, several other NRL players might be tempted to try a bit of lavatory lager.
The club provided a statement on Walsh on Monday afternoon, saying: “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.”

The Broncos can seal a top-four berth by defeating Melbourne at a heaving Suncorp Stadium on Thursday night.
Prop Payne Haas, who was once pursued by the Storm, and was about to join them until former coach Wayne Bennett convinced him to stay in the Queensland capital, told reporters on Monday: “I’m glad that [Bennett conversation] happened because I wouldn’t have the things I have now. I am very grateful for the journey and very grateful to be a Bronco.
“My main goal since I started here was to win a premiership for Brisbane. I know that is something missing on my resume. It is something I really want on there, and I will be going hard for it this year.”
After the incident where he punched his friend for a laugh, Walsh was made to meet with club management and apologised on Nine’s Today, saying: “Just having a laugh with my mate. Obviously, you know, we don’t support violence and stuff like that, but obviously, it’s not a good look for myself.”
