State of Origin: If Latrell Mitchell is officially ruled out of Origin 3, who are the candidates in line to replace him for the deicider?
Bradman Best and Kalyn Ponga will both get one last chance to put their names in the State of Origin selection hat when the Knights travel to Canberra in Round 18.
Both Newcastle stars have missed the first two games of the series, but injuries and form have opened the door for their potential returns to the arena. Latrell Mitchell’s lisfranc injury means Best is one of the frontrunners to be the left centre in Michael Maguire’s Blues side for the series decider at Suncorp Stadium.The only place to watch every game of every round LIVE with no ad-breaks during play is Fox League, available on Kayo. New to Kayo?A strong return from injury could also elevate Ponga into the frame for inclusion on Billy Slater’s Maroons bench for Game III.
Ponga has missed the last few months with a foot injury and was reportedly a doubt to play against Canberra. However, it appears the Knights’ star man will line up at the back, leaving him one game to prove to Slater he’s ready for an Origin return.1. Kaeo Weekes 2. Jordan Rapana 3. Matthew Timoko 4.
