Rugby League's own titans.com.au has the inside scoop on Fotuaika making a triumphant return for the Maroons in Game II of the State of Origin series at none other than the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Queensland Maroons head honcho Billy Slater has given the nod to Felise Kaufusi, who impressed as the 18th man in Game I, and Kurt Capewell, who has earned his stripes for the June 26 showdown against the New South Wales Blues.
Kaufusi will be making his 16th appearance for the Maroons, adding a touch of seasoned expertise to the team, while Capewell will be stepping onto the field for his 10th Origin game and his first since the epic Game III of the 2022 series.
The duo bring a wealth of experience to the bench, injecting a new energy into the team following the last game that featured J'maine Hopgood and Selwyn Cobbo.
It's shaping up to be a clash for the ages, with the Maroons looking to harness the power of Fotuaika and his fellow teammates to take down their rivals in a display of Rugby League prowess at its finest.
