    Daly  Cherry-Evans is set to become the first State of Origin league captain dropped midway through a series this century, with Tom Dearden to take over as Queensland halfback

    Daly Cherry-Evans is set to become the first State of Origin league captain dropped midway through a series this century, with Tom Dearden to take over as Queensland halfback

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    Maroons selectors will meet this afternoon where Cherry-Evans is almost certain to be left out of the squad for game two on Wednesday week, barring any late changes.

    Cherry-Evans has been the Maroons' first-choice halfback and captain since 2019, but has come under fire since the 18-6 loss in the series opener.

    Queensland dropped Trevor Gillmeister when he was captain in the 1990s.
