NSW back-rower Josh Jackson is set to miss the State of Origin decider with the NRL match review committee charging the 24-year-old with a grade two dangerous tackle.

Jackson and teammate Greg Eastwood dumped Penrith five-eighth Jamie Soward on his head in a fiery first half of the Bulldogs’ 24-12 win over the Panthers on Saturday night.

REPLACEMENT: Who comes in for Jackson?

The Bulldogs play Melbourne on Monday, with coach Laurie Daley to name his NSW team for Origin III on the Tuesday.

St George Illawarra’s Tyson Frizell has been the Blues’ 18th man this series and could be in line to make his Origin debut.

Daley could also opt for the experience of Cronulla back-rower Luke Lewis, who had a strong game in the Sharks’ 30-28 win over Newcastle on Sunday.

The base charge for a grade 2 dangerous throw is 325 points - or three weeks - and even with an early guilty plea, Jackson would miss two weeks and be ineligible for game three at Suncorp Stadium on July 8.

Jackson’s only hope appears to be to seek a downgrade. A grade one dangerous throw charge would attract 125 points.
