Reece Walsh's State of Origin jersey is in jeopardy after a disappointing performance in Brisbane's loss to Canberra, with calls growing for Kalyn Ponga to take his place.

Raiders player Corey Horsburgh is pushing for a Queensland recall and sent a strong message to coach Billy Slater.

Walsh struggled throughout the game, making multiple errors and failing to make an impact.

Experts had tipped Brisbane as premiership contenders after a strong round one win but they were brought back down to earth by the Raiders.

Walsh's inconsistent performance could be a concern for Slater as he picks his Queensland team.

Despite a quiet first half, Walsh tried to rally his team in the second half but struggled to execute, making crucial errors and putting his teammates in difficult situations.

This latest blow for Walsh adds further pressure as he fights to retain his spot in the Origin team.
