Queensland have injected new blood into their forward pack for July 15's Origin III clash with New South Wales at Suncorp Stadium.
North Queensland Cowboys prop Matt Scott has been slotted into the front row for the injured Petero Civoniceva while Canberra's David Shillington and St George Illawarra enforcer Neville Costigan feature on the bench.
Bulldogs prop Ben Hannant (knee) was not considered while Sydney Roosters forward Nate Myles was ruled out after being suspended for six games for a drunken incident at a Central Coast hotel.
Melbourne Storm halfback Cooper Cronk has been called into the squad as the 18th man.
Karmichael Hunt is still battling an ankle injury and is believed to be in some doubt for Wednesday week's match at Suncorp Stadium where Queensland will be chasing their first series clean sweep in 15 years.
Winger Israel Folau is also out of the picture after fracturing his ankle playing for Brisbane against the Warriors on the weekend.
Cowboys flyer Willie Tonga moves from the centres to the wing as a result.
