The Cowboys have reason to celebrate as six of their players have been named in the Queensland Maroons squad for Game II of the State of Origin series.
Coach Billy Slater, a legend of the game, has finalized the line-up for the upcoming showdown at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Felise Kaufusi, a seasoned campaigner with 16 appearances for the Maroons, has secured his spot after narrowly missing out on Game I.
Kurt Capewell, a tenacious player known for his grit and determination, has also been rewarded with a place in the squad for the June 26 clash against the New South Wales Blues.
The inclusion of Kaufusi and Capewell adds a new dimension to the team, bringing both experience and skill to the interchange bench.
This shake-up comes after the series opener saw young guns J'maine Hopgood and Selwyn Cobbo get their chance to shine on the big stage.
With Game II just around the corner, the Cowboys faithful will be watching closely as their stars do battle in one of the biggest fixtures on the Rugby League calendar.
Cue the excitement, the drama, and the passion that only Origin football can bring.
Go Maroons!
