The Maroons have named South Sydney forward Ethan Lowe as their 18th man for the upcoming State of Origin series decider on July 10.

Lowe will join the camp in Brisbane on Wednesday, a week out from game three.

The call to bring Lowe into the camp sees the 28-year-old edge one step closer to his Maroons debut, after featuring in Queensland’s Emerging Origin program over the past few years.

Lowe isn’t the only player who has been called into the camp, with Gold Coast’s AJ Brimson set to join the squad in the lead up to Origin III.
