Ahead of State of Origin game three, the Queensland Maroons are preparing for multiple squad changes after injuries disrupted selection. Reports from several outlets say that two injury-plagued players are poised to make their Origin comebacks, returning to the team after time on the sideline. One of the key updates is that Billy Slater is linked to a set of three Maroons changes for the match.
At the same time, one leading player is ruled out of contention due to a concussion, meaning they will not take part in game three. The concussion status affects the available pool for selection and shapes how the remaining squad is arranged for the fixture.
While the specific positions and the full list of players involved are presented across the articles, the overall picture is consistent: Queensland is planning for returning players after injuries, while making adjustments to cover an absence caused by concussion, as Origin game three approaches.
