Incumbent Blues No. 9 Nathan Peats will take some unseating given his performances in his debut series last season, but he’s been sharing the Titans hooking role with former Dragon Mitch Rein over the opening three rounds.

McInnes proved himself an 80-minute ironman in his first season with the club in 2017 and Frizell believes he’s right in the selection picture.

“Cameron McInnes is a guy I think’s definitely ready to step up to the [Origin] challenge,” Frizell said.

“He had a great year last year and he’s had a really good start to the season this year.

“I’m sure all the boys want to reach that [level] but it all starts here.  We’re driving each other to be better each week and hopefully that jersey does come around for a few of the boys.”
