Canberra centre Jarrod Croker has been drafted into the NSW squad as 18th man for State of Origin III on Wednesday in Brisbane.
The 23-year-old goalkicking centre played for NSW Country earlier this year in Dubbo.
Croker comes in as cover for Josh Dugan, who injured his leg in St George Illawarra’s win over Melbourne on Monday, but is fully expected to play in Game III.
