For supporters of the Queensland Maroons, there is good news: Reece Walsh can now participate in the State of Origin Two next week. After playing just seven minutes in Game One, Wlash was knocked out in the tackle that resulted in Joseph Sua’ali’i being sent off. He now wears the number one shirt again. Kurt Capewell, a Warriors veteran, started in Selwyn Cobbo’s place in Game Two after the player came on for Walsh in Sydney and played a major impact. Cobbo is “not quite 100 per cent at the moment,” according to Maroons coach Billy Slater, therefore it was decided to rest him.
With Felise Kaufusi, an experienced player, starting on the bench for his 16th Origin match, Eels forward J’maine Hopgood is out due to a back ailment. The 18th player is Dane Gagai, and the reserves Trent Loiero and Heilum Luki have been added to the extended squad. Next Wednesday will see the play of Origin Two.
