Queensland coach Billy Slater has heaped further praise on Canberra forward Corey Horsburgh as the in-form Raider looks to strengthen his case for an Origin debut.
Horsburgh is among the pack of fringe forwards Slater is likely to consider for Game 1 of the 2023 series, which will take place at Adelaide Oval on May 31.
That date leaves any remaining selection contenders with two rounds to prove their worth to Slater, who is unlikely to have his forward pack locked in for the series opener.
I am watching all the Queensland guys closely and Corey is one who has caught my eye, Slater told News Corp.
