A look inside Maroons camp with Coach Slater - The Billy Slater Podcast

Queensland coach Billy Slater joins us from inside Maroons camp ahead of State of Origin Game One, tackling the biggest selection calls and storylines dominating rugby league. Billy opens up on the huge fullback debate between Reece Walsh and Kalyn Ponga, why experience mattered in key positions, and how the Maroons landed on one of the most talked-about squads in recent Origin history. There’s also discussion around the six debutants and the balance of the bench under the new Origin rules, leadership within camp. Billy also reflects on selection pressure and what fans might be underestimating about this Queensland team heading into the series opener. 0:00 Welcome 0:15 Day 1 in Maroons Camp 1:05 How hard is it building the team? 2:05 Flegler is back! 4:15 Walker to debut at 7 5:40 Max Plath at Lock 7:10 Jojo Fifita on the wing 8:20 Ezra Mam off the bench 9:35 Ponga at fullback 10:10 Capewell Returns 10:45 Strike power on the bench 11:50 Can Billy enjoy himself? 12:40 Munster & Grant Subscribe ? https://bit.ly/2lvAJT2 NRL News? https://bit.ly/2mPWIV9 NRL on Nine is the home of everything rugby league so stay tuned for more NRL highlights, analysis, opinion and video.
