Queensland legend Billy Moore has unveiled his Queensland Origin I team on Fox League's Queenslanders Only.

Moore has left out veteran prop Matt Scott, who has not played Origin since 2016 but recently declared his keenness to return to the stage.

“I wanted McGuire, Papalii and Arrow in my starting team,” Moore said.

“I wouldn’t bring Scott off the bench but I wouldn’t have a problem if you found a spot for him, it’s obviously just moving the other players around.

“(Joe) Ofahengaue has gone off the boil a bit in recent weeks.”

Moore has opted for two rookies in his team, Melbourne's Christian Welch and Brisbane's David Fifita, both featuring on the bench.
