Billy Slater dismisses ‘outside noise’ amid Origin squad announcement



Queensland Maroons coach Billy Slater has dismissed the “outside noise” surrounding his Origin game one squad as he faces backlash for dropping big-name stars.

Slater has overlooked Newcastle duo Kalyn Ponga and Dane Gagai, instead choosing youngster Reece Walsh and Dolphins’ Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow.

“The balance is focusing on what you can control and blocking out the outside news … that’s all irrelevant for us,” he said during a media conference.
