Why Murray Taulagi won't play for the North Queensland Cowboys in Round 18
The Queensland winger has been withdrawn after a fresh setback, but he's expected to return soon.
www.sportingnews.comHere’s the latest on Murray Taulagi:
- In 2025, Taulagi was ruled out of Queensland’s State of Origin I with a calf/ankle-related issue, delaying a potential Queensland debut in the series opener. This followed earlier injury concerns after a Cowboys defeat, affecting his selection timeline.[1]
- He later suffered a fresh setback in 2025 that kept him out of North Queensland’s Round 18 clash, with the expectation he would return soon after the short-term injury.[2]
- By April 2026, Taulagi remained an active player for the North Queensland Cowboys, with ongoing coverage of his form, injury status, and performances into the 2026 season, including reports of his role in the backline and potential returns from injuries.[3][8]
