St George forward Tyson Frizells (pictured) long awaited State of Origin debut is now less than a week away after Wade Graham was suspended on Wednesday night.

Frizell has been a member of the Blues extended squad for a couple of years and was the last man left out of the losing Blues team last year.

Frizell and Indigenous All Star Graham were teammates at Cronulla and Frizell says Graham has been outstanding in the way he’s handled the disappointment of missing out on his Origin debut.
