Round 20 charges: Holmes faces Origin ban in further blow to Maroons

Queensland's backline stocks are in dire straits for Origin I with Valentine Holmes facing a shoulder charge ban that would make him the latest in a growing list of MIA Maroons for game one.

An unsuccessful contest from the tackle in the final minute of North Queensland's 32-16 defeat of the Broncos, would mean Holmes would be rubbed out of game two as well. Feldt's hat-trick against Brisbane on Thursday night shot him to the top of the NRL's tryscoring race, only for club coach Josh Hannay to confirm the big-bodied flyer will go under the knife next month."He will be disappointed he has gotten himself to a point where he is knocking on the [Origin] door and there is probably a lack of depth for Queensland in the outside backs now.

Already, Cowboys skipper Michael Morgan will be unavailable due to his ongoing shoulder injury, while Wests Tigers captain Moses Mbye is also in doubt, potentially robbing current coach Kevin Walters of two more backline options.David Fifita is also unlikely at least for Origin I if not the entire series after undergoing an ankle operation that is expected to sideline him for six weeks.

QLDmaroons So why does he get origin,ain't exactly blinding

QLDmaroons Like the Queenslanders have any chance of winning anyway.

QLDmaroons Surely not

QLDmaroons Still don't understand how a regular season game infringement takes him out of Origin contention.

QLDmaroons That would imply it was looking good for them before this happened...🤔😬
