The QRL announced on Saturday morning that PCR swabs have confirmed both Cameron Munster and Murray Taulagi have COVID-19 and will miss Wednesday's Origin decider. The pair had earlier returned positive Rapid Antigen Tests on Friday and been isolated from the rest of the squad. Broncos Winger Corey Oates and Cowboys playmaker Tom Dearden will both come into the Maroons 17, with the final line-up still to be confirmed.

Team doctor Matt Hislop said on Wednesday that Kalyn Ponga (concussion) had passed all return to play protocols and would take his place at fullback. 

Cowboys teenager Jeremiah Nanai is set to make his start in Origin as he replaces Felise Kaufusi (personal) with club teammate Tom Gilbert coming on to the bench for his debut.

Jordan McLean has been ruled out after picking up a hamstring injury on Thursday. Knights prop Jacob Saifiti will instead come into the 17-man team in McLean's place after he was named among the reserves earlier in the week. Sharks skipper Dale Finucane was added to the extended squad on Friday.

Nicho Hynes was originally named as 19th Man but has since tested positive to COVID and will remain in isolation for the game. Jack Wighton will feature as 18th Man after the Blues opted to retain Stephen Crichton and Matt Burton in the centres.

Eels skipper Clint Gutherson, Knights prop Jacob Saifiti and Cowboys hooker Reece Robson remain part of the extended squad after Hynes' dropped out. Chad Townsend also joined the Blues camp on Thursday as cover for Hynes.
