Steve Price has no doubt Warriors prop Jacob Lillyman's name will be in the Queensland State of Origin side when it's announced today.
Maroons coach Mal Meninga has inadvertently shown his team sheet to Australian television cameras with Lillyman among the names.
Price has plenty of praise for his former teammate.
He describes Lillyman's transition from second row to front row as "magical".
Lillyman played four times for Queensland between 2006 and 2008.
The team list shows Storm centre Dane Nielsen and Brisbane winger Jharal Yow Yeh as the only two debutants in the squad.
Broncos back-rower Corey Parker and prop Ben Hannant are set to be recalled.
A hip injury has forced South's centre Greg Inglis out of the squad.
The side will officially be named today.
