Top 10 players that could come in for Queensland in game three

With the State of Origin series wrapped up by New South Wales in Game II, Queensland coach Kevin Walters will consider what changes he should make to his side for the final match. There are plenty of options available to him and these are the ten that appear most likely. Christian Welch A solid and consistent player for the Storm, Christian Welch would not look out of place in a Maroons jersey. With a need for size and go-forward up front, Welch is certainly in the mix to make his debut in the final match of these series.

Ofahengaue is another prop option for Walters and appears ready and willing to make his Origin debut.

Mbye would provide a versatile utility or backline option, should Walters decide to select him.

Oates has been in terrific form in 2018 and despite being unlikely to beat Valentine Holmes or Dane Gagai for a wing position, Oates has size and speed. This means Oates could play in the forwards if needed, and is likely to perform well wherever he is picked.

Guerra was a part of a number of successful Origin campaigns for the Maroons, often as a starting forward, and given his quality performances for Newcastle in 2018, Queensland may need him back.

When he is on song, Cherry-Evans is one of the best playmakers in the NRL, and could provide a quality utility option for the Maroons, as he has done in the past.

As 18th man in Game II in Sydney, it is clear that Glasby is not far off being recalled by Kevin Walters.

The dead rubber match at Suncorp stadium presents Kevin Walters with a golden opportunity to introduce Taylor to the Origin arena.

Replacing Cameron Smith was always going to be a difficult task, and Jake Friend may provide the Queensland team with more inventive attack than Andrew McCullough while still being defensively strong.

The powerful prop has played a whopping 22 games for the Maroons and has always stood up for the occasion; no doubt he will do so again if he is recalled.
