Maroons coach Billy Slater has named four debutants in his squad for State of Origin Game 1 against NSW
Billy Slater has not yet coached a game of senior football but will take charge of Queensland in State of Origin Game 1 against New South Wales on Wednesday.
New Queensland coach Slater has named four debutants in his squad, including teenager Selwyn Cobbo.
The Brisbane winger, who has scored 10 tries in his past six NRL games, won a hotly contested race for a spot in the Maroons’ backline ahead of teammate Corey Oates and North Queensland pair Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and Murray Taulagi.
