Queensland great Petero Civoniceva has hailed recalled prop Thomas Flegler as a "firebrand" who will succeed again in the toughest arena after an incredible comeback to State of Origin.
The 26-year-old will play his first Origin match in 1071 days in Sydney on Wednesday night after recovering from nerve damage to his shoulder.
After almost two years out of the NRL, Flegler returned for the Dolphins in stellar fashion and has been a major factor in their surge into the top eight.
