Fox League presenter and Broncos legend Corey Parker has made a huge call ahead of Queensland’s first State of Origin clash in Adelaide for Game 1.
Last week saw the bombshell news that Kalyn Ponga would make way for Brisbane’s Reece Walsh, despite being the incumbent and a hero in Maroon last year, and Parker thinks Queensland coach Billy Slater must stick with Walsh as he could help lead the Maroons to Origin glory.

Speaking exclusively to news.com.au, Parker said Walsh was the “most in-form” option for Slater heading into Origin I.
With Ponga having struggled with concussion throughout 2023, Parker was asked, head trauma notwithstanding, whether Ponga was the man for the job, and he was unequivocal.
