Queensland name team for Game Three

[Matto]

Queensland Coach Kevin Walters has been forced in to several changes for Game Three as the Maroons look to clinch the 2019 State of Origin series back from New South Wales.

With star fullback Kalyn Ponga (calf) out injured, Walters has named Corey Norman as part of the squad as Queensland evaluate their options for Wednesday's game.

Norman could slot straight in at the No.1 position, while the likes of Cameron Munster, Michael Morgan and Moses Mbye have all played the position regularly and could move in to the position depending on the final make-up of the side.

Norman isn't the only debutant for Queensland, either, with Storm forward Christian Welch included in the squad — named in place of Jarrod Wallace.

Dylan Napa also makes way with Joe Ofahengaue returning from injury.

New South Wales will name their side for Game Three at 6:00pm AEST tonight, with Coach Brad Fittler expected to name a similar squad to the one that won Game Two— including Nathan Cleary (injury, pending) and Tariq Sims (judiciary, pending).

Keep believing lol.

All he has to tell is the guy playing fullback. Everyone else is losing the plot not them.

P.S. it will be Morgan

this is the sort of dribble qld team that will turn up and win....and then we'll have to listen to that queenslander stink for the next year and watch them run around with faces you just want to step on......

@OzLuke well they have multiple faces so it’s quite hard to tell which to step on..

Another Kevvy inspiration..

if Christian Welsh was the ideal player to bring in for game 3 why didn't he pick him for game 2...wouldn't need a game 3 then...lololololololololo

Hook line and sinker.

Kevie's only just discovered that Welch for a period of his life lived within 10 kms of me

Automatic selection of course .....will win Wally Lewis Medal based on this as well
