NSW Blues young winger Will Hopoate is set to miss the third and final State of Origin clash with a hamstring tear that could keep him out of the game for up to six weeks.
Hopoate suffered the injury in his debut game for New South Wales, scoring a diving try in the corner to put New South Wales ahead and ultimately give them the win.
Hopoate looks likely to have suffered a grade two tear which would rule him out for six weeks.
Manly have been quoted as saying he’ll definitely not be right for Origin game three.
The Origin decider is on July 6th – three weeks from last night.
His absence for Game III will likely mean a recall for Penrith centre Michael Jennings, who missed Game II with injury.
