Queensland State of Origin hopeful Jake Granville risks missing one last chance to press for selection for next month’s series opener after being charged with dangerous contact.
With carryover demerit points, not even an early guilty plea would save the North Queensland hooker from a one-game ban.
Granville would need to successfully beat the charge at an NRL judiciary appearance or miss Saturday’s clash with Canberra – the Cowboys’ last outing before the Queensland and NSW teams are announced for Origin I on June 2.
