Reece Walsh has been selected for Queensland in game two of the State of Origin series but J’maine Hopgood and Selwyn Cobbo have been ruled out with injury.
As long as he passes final tests in camp, Walsh will take the field against NSW at the MCG on June 26. But the veteran trio have proved there is still life in their battle-hardened legs, as they plot dream swansongs in the Queensland colours. Cobbo was outstanding coming off the bench in Game I after Walsh left the field, having a hand in two tries while running for 167 metres and nine tackle busts.But Maroons coach Billy Slater said it was best for Cobbo to rest, given his present condition.
“Selwyn’s just turned 22, and sometimes we forget these guys are still young men developing physically. They’re still developing their game and still building that consistency in their game.
