Corey Horsburgh admits he was starstruck hanging out with childhood heroes Billy Slater, Cameron Smith and Jonathon Thurston in Queensland's State of Origin camp.
But Canberra's powerful forward has declared he's ready to get to work and do a job for his state if Maroons coach Slater calls out his name for game three after doing the 19th man role last time out.
Horsburgh is the leading contender to replace injured prop Tom Flegler in the Queensland side and did his chances no harm with a gutsy 110m, 46-tackle display in the Raiders' 26-22 win against the Gold Coast on Saturday.
