Maroons coach Billy Slater will overhaul his defensive line for the deciding game in Origin on July 17 after Cowboys winger Murray Taulagi was out with a hamstring injury.
Taulagi, who suffered the injury during Golden Point’s Saturday night defeat to Manly, is sidelined along with teammate Xavier Coates after the Storm star tore his hamstring last week.
Broncos player Selwyn Cobbo and Knights veteran Dane Gagai are seen as the leading contenders to replace Taulagi and Coates.
Rabbitohs and Blues superstar Latrell Mitchell will miss Origin III at Suncorp Stadium with a foot injury.
Mitchell, who starred in NSW’s 38-18 win over Queensland in Origin II at the MCG, suffered the injury during Thursday night’s win over Parramatta.
Rabbitohs officials said Mitchell would undergo scans before the NSW squad was announced on Sunday night, but he is believed to be out for a month with an injury to Lisfranc.
Manly’s Tom Trbojevicwho made his comeback on Saturday night against the Cowboys in the centre, and Newcastle’s Bradman Best are among the players likely to be considered for Mitchell.
The NSW squad will be announced on Sunday evening, with the Maroons chosen on Monday.

Roosters teammate Michael Jennings also left the game in the dying minutes after a high tackle on Jaydn Su’A. The Dragons forward was reported for the tackle in the 78th minute.
Warriors defender Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad and wingers Dallin Watene-Zelezniak And Marcelo Montoya failed to finish Saturday’s match against the Bulldogs at Accor Stadium.
