Queensland head to Suncorp Stadium on June 21 with a view to wrapping up this year’s Ampol State of Origin series but injuries to two key forwards have thrown coach Billy Slater a curve ball ahead of next week's team announcement.
While Arrow and Gilbert are more generally back-rowers, both can also play in the front row and Slater has shown he values versatility in his pack, with Tino Fa'asuamaleaui able to fill in at lock and prop, as can Reuben Cotter, who played 60 minutes in the second row for Game One.
David Fifita's performance at Adelaide Oval ensured he'll be there for Game II but where he plays and who lines up beside him is still in the melting pot.If not for suspension, there’s a strong case to argue that Nanai would have held onto his spot in the side that he earned in Game Three last year.
Capewell started his Origin career in the centres, and could have been handy to have in the side in Game One as Queensland’s backline fell by the wayside. Capewell has been in good form for the Broncos and knows how to win at Suncorp, and added to his versatility could prove an attractive option for the Maroons.If it’s passion you’re after, Canberra’s Corey Horsburgh is your man.
