Queensland coach Billy Slater says he has no issues with the Origin readiness of Cameron Munster, revealing he battled the same groin issue as the Storm playmaker and he’d have no hesitation casting him into his key role in June.
Going for three Origin series wins in a row, Queensland coach Billy Slater has given updates on three key players.
But Slater, who keeps close tabs on Storm and Munster as a Melbourne resident and sometimes helper, said all players were managing injuries and that would continue in the 50 days between now and the State of Origin opener. Walsh is the incumbent custodian after Ponga, who has played seven times for Queensland and was integral to the Maroons’ 2022 series win, opted out of last year’s series as he overcame concussion issues.
