Reece Walsh Vs James Tedesco: Kevin Walters has reportedly made his mind up #nrl #rli #reecewalsh

Who gets Australia's fullback jersey? FanaticsTV returned to that question in both of its uploads, with the shorter selection-focused video drawing about 35,000 views, comfortably more than the full Rugby League Insider episode.

"Reece Walsh Vs James Tedesco: Kevin Walters has reportedly made his mind up #nrl #rli #reecewalsh" presents the choice as reportedly settled. The comments certainly aren't settled: viewers weigh Walsh's speed and ability to create opportunities against Tedesco's consistency, while others raise defensive concerns. Those are arguments from the audience, not confirmation of the selection.

The longer episode, "Reece Walsh v Teddy, Sam Walker's Deal & Spencer's Eels Deal | RLIEP180," gives James Hooper, Simon Woolford and Christian Nicolussi a broader agenda. Alongside the Australia-New Zealand preview, they discuss whether Spencer Leniu can become a starting front-rower at Parramatta, Junior Paulo's future and the approaching November 1 player market. International selection and club rebuilding share the same conversation.

The new fullback clip carries the channel's strongest video momentum, followed by the full episode. The older "Kangaroo selection shock 👀#NRL #Kangaroos #RugbyLeague #NRLFinals #RLI" also keeps drawing views, making representative selection a recurring thread rather than a single upload's hook.

Subscribers stayed unchanged at 130,000 over the week, and the channel's current daily viewing is well below its usual level. Its weekly audience was modest beside busy nearby sports channels World Curling and The Overlap Cricket. For FanaticsTV viewers catching up, though, the full episode offers plenty beyond the jersey debate, including the panel's assessment of Perth's NRL entry and Parramatta's rebuild.
