Queensland’s Department of health is panicking today after revelations have emerged that the state is about to be hit by a health crisis.
Just hours after picking his first Queensland Maroons State of Origin side, coach Billy Slater has informed the media that there is a massive injury cloud hovering over the entire squad.
The tried and tested play from the rookie coach, follows a storied history of Queensland teams being blighted by all manner of injuries and ailments ahead of the interstate showdown.
This year, it looks as though the Maroons’ camp is about to be struck down by an outbreak of Monkeypox.
Raised as an issue by the World Health Organisation and commercial media organisations chasing clicks, Monkeypox is the new virus on the block that has created a real buzz.
Initial symptoms of monkeypox include fever, body aches, and fatigue.
The disease can result in a rash that leads to red bumps on the skin, as seen in a photo of Daly Cherry-Evans which was provided to The Advocate by Billy Slater himself.
“Looks like we might be the first outbreak on Australian soil,” explained Slater this morning.
“So, at this stage, the whole side is under a Monkeypox cloud. Safe to say I think we are the underdogs.”
“I am contemplating whether I have to name myself at fullback. Obviously, Cameron and Johnathan have made themselves available to strap on the boots too.”
“It’s real backs to the wall stuff.”
More to come.
