Queensland are in the midst of major injury drama as the 2020 State of Origin series draws closer, with the likes of Kyle Feldt, Moses Mbye, Michael Morgan and Valentine Holmes all in doubt for at least Game 1 of the November series.
But the Maroons have a history of blurring the lines when it comes to player eligibility for Origin – and few know that better than Parramatta and NSW great Peter Sterling.
The retired legend had a tongue-in-cheek suggestion for Kevin Walters on Wide World of Sports’ “Sterlo’s Wrap” to deal with the crisis: let’s be honest, would anyone be surprised if the Maroons actually do just that?

Plus it seems a weird time to have a go at that when they're about to pick Keary!

Sterlo played when the rules were black and white - where you were registered on your 16th birthday. That was the rule from day one, until Gallop changed the rules to be a free for all.

During sterlings time it wasn’t picked on where you born, that’s a recent thing.
