Recalled Maroons<\/a> star Kalyn Ponga<\/a> has revealed the plan for how him and Reece Walsh will work together in Origin III, providing a scary hypothetical for the Blues.<\/p>\n

Ponga has been named on the bench for Queensland<\/a> having not played Origin since 2022. The superstar Knights fullback was immense in that series, scoring a try in the decider at Suncorp Stadium.<\/p>\n

However, the emergence of Walsh and injuries to Ponga mean he hasn't featured since.<\/p>\n

How Ponga comes into the game next Wednesday remains to be seen, with Queensland selecting Harry Grant on the bench in his usual No.14 role. \ufeff<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old is likely to form a combination with Walsh when he does enter the field, and Ponga revealed he's been having "visions" of how it will work together. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"I've been thinking about that for a little while," he told media on Monday.<\/p>\n

"I've got visions of him going down the sideline and passing it back in to me.<\/p>\n

"It's exciting, I can't wait to get out there and train and build combinations with everyone.<\/p>\n

"Hopefully we can get everything right, but there's a lot of work to be done between now and then."<\/p>\n

Ponga added he's still working with Walsh and coach Billy Slater to decide what sort of role he'll play off the bench.<\/p>\n

"Everyone loves watching him (Walsh). His speed, his elusiveness and how exciting he is," Ponga said.<\/p>\n

"My job when I come on, we still haven't really worked that out, but it's just to give him the footy and let him open up."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
