QUEENSLAND champion Ben Ikin has picked his Maroons side to run out for State of Origin I, axing a 28-game superstar as well as a Cowboys enforcer, while making room for a Titans bolter on the bench.

With just one more round of NRL action to get through before Kevin Walters and the Queensland selectors sit down to finalise their line-up, Ikin has put a line through Darius Boyd, with Valentine Holmes getting the nod to play on the left wing due to his goalkicking ability.

Boyd isn’t the only big name casualty from Ikin’s team, with Cowboys young gun Coen Hess also ousted to make room for Jai Arrow on the bench.
