The injury bug is hitting some of the league's biggest stars heading into Round 15 - and it will likely have major ramifications for the remainder of the Origin series.
Nathan Cleary is set to miss six weeks with a hamstring injury, while the likes of Cameron Murray and Jai Arrow have also been sidelined.
Elsewhere, the Dolphins will be without two experienced stars for their clash with Manly, while young gun Joseph Suaalii is facing a stint on the sidelines through suspension.
