Grant to miss Origin III for Queensland
Queensland will be without Harry Grant for State of Origin III after he failed to beat a hamstring injury.
Grant had hoped he would be able to return for the series finale, after going down a week before Game II.
But Melbourne medical staff ruled that option out on Saturday morning, informing the Maroons he would not be fit.
Melbourne have the bye in round 17, but are hoping Grant can return in their clash against Newcastle the Saturday after Game III.
Queensland opted to use Andrew McCullough as starting hooker in Game II and Ben Hunt off the bench, as they went down 26-0 in the game that handed NSW the shield.
