Manly prop Kobe Hetherington has been hailed as "made for Origin" by former Queensland forward Corey Parker, who insists he would be a perfect fit on the Maroons' bench
With regular forward Pat Carrigan out of the second State of Origin clash in Melbourne with an ankle injury and selectors looking at their bench rotation, Hetherington has 19-game Queensland forward Parker in his corner for a debut.
Parker, also prominent in his media roles, listed Hetherington in his team on an extended bench for Queensland ahead of the first State of Origin showdown in Sydney, won 22-20 by NSW
"I had him there because the traits he displays every week are exactly what you need in Origin," Parker told AAP.
