Rumors of QLDs Origin demise have been greatly exaggerated.

I'm really surprised by Hammer being selected to play fullback. I think he's one of the best centres in the competition but don't really rate him very highly as a fullback.

Slater loves Walsh probably have to guess that Slater doesn't believe Walsh can give a full 80 as he doesn't appear 100% in the last few games back. The 18th is only used in the fact of foul play resulting in the player being ruled out of the game & the opposing player being binned or if there's two failed HIA's so really the role of the 18th player is flat out 15-20mins max.

I think Walsh is injured. Apart from Ponga and Walsh, who else will play fullback?

Walsh is 18th man.
They’re all essentially saying you can’t get through 18 but what a luxury if we need you for 20. In a backhanded way it’s good for his long term welfare as it gives him a much needed week off need them after return from knee injuries and we know Maguire runs injured players into the ground.
