Updated OP for you @Super Freak

I find amusing that Corey Allan left the Broncos because Bennett wasn't giving him an opportunity; now, barely 2 years later, he's giving him an opportunity to make his Origin debut for Queensland. Funny how things work.
 
Allan to FB and Holmes to wing makes sense.

Allan's press conference was pretty funny, I think they all know it.
 
So there's nothing official yet, but it sounds like Coates is questionable at best to play with what seems to be a calf / ankle injury.

If that pans out suddenly we're looking at a potential back 5 of..

Allan
Holmes
Capewell
Brenko
Gagai

We'll know more in about 24 hours when the teams are trimmed down to 19.
 
Confirmation from Bennett today of the team that'll play tomorrow night.

* = Edrick Lee if Xavier Coates doesn't pass his fitness test tomorrow, has a groin injury.

Maybe I'm a little OCD but reading the player numbers in that order owing to the reshuffle causes me great distress.

So much better with Holmes on the wing

Agree. I'm low key hoping that Coates withdraws, because I think Edrick is a much better winger right now.

A back 5 of Allan, E.Lee, Gagai, B.Lee & Holmes is actually exciting across the board.
