Queensland is set to welcome back Maroons veteran Billy Slater, in what is set to be a tough match against the “baby blues”.
“His return is certainly a big addition to the team and he’ll add a wealth of experience to a relatively new Queensland team,” the Chronicle sports editor Jason Gibbs said.
“It’ll be interesting to see how he goes coming back from a tough hamstring injury that’s kept him out of both rep and club football for weeks, but I think he’ll come back strong just as he did in game two last year.”
NSW comes into this game as heavy favourites as they look to end Queensland’s era of dominance at home.
“The selectors south of the border have definitely put together a star-studded pack with a tonne of the comp’s form players returning for game two and I think they’ll be hard to beat,” Jason said.
“I wouldn’t exactly write the Queensland team off though, they’ve certainly been in this position before.”
