Queensland coach Billy Slater is confident fullbacks Reece Walsh and Kalyn Ponga can succeed in the same side, because he has played in a similar combination himself.
In game two of 2018 Slater was Maroons fullback and Ponga, in his State of Origin debut, came off the bench as a roving lock with great success. The Maroons lost that match 18-14, but Ponga was one of the best on the ground.
