The St George Illawarra star thought her season was over when she sustained a knee injury earlier this month. She is now hopeful of taking the field against Queensland in next month's Women's State of Origin match.

When Kezie Apps felt her leg snap playing for St George Illawarra in the NRLW earlier this month, she feared the worst.Apps has been named Blues captain to face the Maroons"I honestly thought I broke my leg and thought, 'Oh no, that's my good leg,'" Apps said.The last time Apps felt similar pain was in October 2018 when she fractured her fibula playing for Australia's national team, the Jillaroos, against New Zealand.

Despite the devastating end to her NRLW season, the Dragons second rower said she was thrilled to earn selection for what had become a highlight of the Australia rugby league calendar."I wasn't sure if I'd be any chance. When I saw the surgeon they said I could be a chance to play and I took that chance with both hands. So I have been working really hard these last two weeks.""It's probably 80-20 if I'll play or not," she said.

Keeley Davis, Kennedy Cherrington, Filomina Hanisi, Shanice Parker, Quincy Dodd, Sarah Togatuki, Melanie Howard, Yasmin Meakes and Brydie Parker were the fresh faces picked in the Blues squad. "It's so positive for the game and shows another NRLW team can get involved. We are at the time of expansion."The Maroons' squad is perhaps the strongest they have fielded in State of Origin, featuring most of the Brisbane Broncos team,"It is going to be tough. We can't even think of the last two years because we are a brand new squad basically and we've got two weeks to figure it out, but we'll be fine.
