The Roosters back-rower missed his side's 40-18 win at Campbelltown Stadium with head coach Trent Robinson opting to rest the 25-year-old after a hectic couple of weeks that saw Cordner lead his state to victory in Game One of the State of Origin series at Suncorp Stadium before he backed up three days later with a two-try haul against the Broncos.
Making way for them are Sam Thaiday, Nate Myles, Jacob Lillyman, Corey Oates, Aidan Guerra, and Justin O'Neill - all savagely omitted from the team - as well as Anthony Milford who is out through injury.
Shillington admitted it was tough to watch the Blues demolition job on Queensland in game one and is hoping for a reinvigorated Maroons performance on June 21.
Wallace must beat a shoulder charge citing at the NRL judiciary on Tuesday night if he is to play, as he otherwise faces a two-match ban.
"That was a good game for Johnno, it will give him some confidence for Origin II", he said.

"Cameron Smith? Not sure what he'd say because he's cut", Walters replied.
"But on the other page there are some other guys like Jarrod Wallace and Coen Hess who could slot in nicely".
