Maroons deny Johnathan Thurston is in doubt for State of Origin II
QUEENSLAND assistant coach Michael Hagan emphatically denied star playmaker Johnathan Thurston was in doubt for tonight's Origin II clash at ANZ Stadium.
There had been persistent rumours the star five-eighth would be a late withdrawal for the clash but Hagan said there had been no signs of illness or injury for Thurston.
"I haven't seen one thing to suggest Johnathan won't be 100 per cent tonight," Hagan said.
"I'm not sure where that circulated from last night but he trained really well yesterday and got through the session without a problem.
"He hasn't had any treatment that I can see and I don't know if it was just something someone was tossing up but he is right to go.
