Queensland skipper Cameron Smith has been charged by the NRL match review committee but he’ll be free to play the State of Origin series opener if he enters an early guilty plea.

Smith was on Monday hit with a grade-one dangerous contact charge after kicking out in a tackle, striking South Sydney hooker Issac Luke in the head during the Storm’s 16-12 NRL win on Saturday night.

Queensland’s team for Origin I will be named on Tuesday for the clash at ANZ Stadium in Sydney on Wednesday week.
