Hayze Perham steps into Broncos fullback role amid Reece Walsh injury

Hayze Perham has stepped into the fullback role for the Brisbane Broncos following a syndesmosis injury to Reece Walsh. Perham, who missed the 2025 season due to an ACL injury, delivered a strong performance against the Canberra Raiders, contributing a game-winning try and five conversions to secure a victory.

Perham has reportedly signed a one-year contract extension to remain with Brisbane through the end of next season. While Walsh remains the primary fullback, Perham expressed optimism about his future and his ability to compete for the position. The Raiders' lineup for the matchup includes the return of Simi Sasagi and Corey Horsburgh, while Morgan Smithies is sidelined with a concussion.
