UPDATE: The Maroons have confirmed Tamika Upton will be the fourth Knight to line up in the first ever Women's Origin Decider, with Upton once again named in the No.1 jersey.
Upton will line up in a team which closely resembles the Maroons' Game II side, with just one change made to the side which was victorious in Newcastle two weeks ago.
Originally published Tuesday, June 18, 2024:
Three Knights have been confirmed in Kylie Hilder's side for the deciding Game III of the Women's Origin series in Townsville.
Caitlan Johnston, Yasmin Clydsdale and Olivia Higgins were all confirmed in Hilder's side having played huge roles in the opening two games.
The side is unchanged from the one that was heartbreakingly defeated 11-10 in front of a record crowd at McDonald Jones Stadium earlier this month.
