Maroons coach Billy Slater has refused to say if he will hand Reece Walsh a State of Origin recall as Queensland fight to keep the series alive.
Walsh - the Clive Churchill Medal winner in last year's grand final - was overlooked for game one, with Slater unable to find a place for the Brisbane superstar in his 20-man squad for Wednesday's 22-20 defeat to NSW in Sydney.
Slater plumped for Kalyn Ponga at fullback and the Newcastle man will be expected to line up for game two in Melbourne on June 17 after being cleared of suspension for his dismissal on Wednesday for a shoulder charge on Tolu Koula.
Pressed as to whether creative phenom Walsh would come back into calculations for next month's clash at MCG, Slater declined to speculate.
