Queensland have recalled Kalyn Ponga, Dane Gagai and Selwyn Cobbo as coach Billy Slater makes key changes to the Maroons side for the State of Origin series decider. Gold Coast forward David Fifita, who played all three Origin games for the Maroons last year, has again been overlooked.
Ponga, expected to come off the bench, last played for the Maroons in the 22-12 win in the 2022 decider in Brisbane when he had his best game for Queensland. The 26-year-old made his Maroons debut off the bench in 2018 when he played in the middle and showcased his versatility in a similar role to the one he will play in the decider. Gagai, 33, has been a Maroons hero so often on his way to scoring 12 Origin tries in 22 appearances.
