Hodges ready for final State of Origin match

Queensland Maroons centre Justin Hodges is ready to play his 23rd and final game for the Maroons in the State of Origin decider tomorrow.

Hodges said after his horror Origin debut in 2002 where as a 19-year-old he twice passed behind the Queensland in-goal line, the experience at a young age shaped the player he would become.

The Blues are unchanged from the side that won in Melbourne three weeks ago, however hooker Robbie Farah still remains in doubt after injuring his hand a week ago.

Meanwhile, the Maroons have made several changes as they attempt to win back the series, with Cooper Cronk and Josh Papali’i coming back in, while Dane Gagai will make his debut.

The Maroons will host the Blues at 10pm tomorrow.
