Queensland are reeling after reports winger Dane Gagai suffered a finger injury at today’s closed Maroons training session at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Gagai is believed to be in major doubt for tomorrow’s  State of Origin opener against New South Wales after reportedly going down with a compound finger dislocation that usually sidelines players for a month.

Brisbane's Anthony Milford and Newcastle's Kalyn Ponga flew into Queensland camp on last night as cover for the injury‑hit Maroons.

Veteran fullback Billy Slater has been ruled out due to injury.

Queensland will play NSW tomorrow at 10pm.
