RUGBY LEAGUE fans were left baffled after star Reece Walsh was seen drinking out of a toilet.
The Brisbane Broncos star shared a video of himself talking in the loo on TikTok earlier this week.

But things took a turn for the worse when he stuck his right hand into the bog as it flushed and drank some of the running water.
Walsh guzzled handfuls of the water before the video, which spread like wildfire on social media, cut out.
Seconds before drinking the toilet water, Walsh jokingly claimed that doing so would aid the recovery of his muscles.
He said: “They reckon there’s a new form of recovery to recover the muscles.
“They reckon if you, you know toilet water, just get a little drink.”
Walsh’s antics soon became the talk of social media, so much so that the Broncos had to release a statement clarifying that the full-back was drinking from an unused toilet.
It read: “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.”
One would’ve thought the Broncos’ statement would’ve flushed away the drama surrounding Walsh’s latest social media stunt.
But the 23-year-old doubled down on his antics by changing his Instagram profile to a snap of himself dressed as a plumber.
And he referenced the video again as he celebrated during the Broncos’ 30-14 win over the Melbourne Storm on Thursday.
After scoring his second try of the match, he pretended to drink from the bowl again.
Commentator Dan Ginnane said of Walsh’s celebration: “Here he is, Reece Walsh.
“There’s your water, there’s your plumbing. There’s your statement on the eve of the 2025 NRL finals.
“They won’t need to put out a statement for that one … and that water sure tastes good.”
