“The Maroons are following all protocols as advised by the NRL.”utility Nicho Hynes also tested positive earlier in the week and was replaced in the extended squad by North Queensland’s Chad Townsend.

“That’s Origin and that’s the pressure of that arena but we’ve seen with Dane, he’s been amazing at Origin level nearly all of his games,” Renouf said. “They went on that try-scoring spree in the second half, you won’t see that from another Queensland team, especially up here at home.” “And that happens a lot at Origin level.
