Queensland State of Origin forward Jeremiah Nanai has been dropped by North Queensland after the Cowboys' ugly start to the 2025 season.
Nanai had a night to forget in his side's 42-12 loss to Manly to open round one, with the 22-year-old clocking up more missed tackles (four) than runs (three).
The backrower's spot has been taken by former Canberra forward Kai O'Donnell, who arrived in Townsville over the off-season following an impressive three-year stint with Super League side Leigh.
