Queensland coach Billy Slater has explained why he left Selwyn Cobbo out of his side for game two of the State of Origin series and revealed that fullback Reece Walsh already has clearance to play.
Brisbane outside back Cobbo came off the bench in the 38-10 win in game one in Sydney when Walsh was concussed and produced a powerhouse display but he has played with injury niggles in his past two games for Brisbane.
