NSW's Kotoni Staggs has escaped suspension for his State of Origin high shot, but still faces a nervous wait over his selection fate for game three.
The centre was sin-binned for rushing out of the line and crunching Kalyn Ponga in the second half of the Blues' game-two capitulation at the MCG on Wednesday.
Queensland scored two tries in his absence and cruised to a 44-24 win that sends the series to a decider at Suncorp Stadium on July 8.
Brisbane's Staggs will be available after being handed a grade-two careless high tackle charge that carries a fine equivalent to 13 per cent of his match fee.
The penalty shakes out to $3900, with changes to the judiciary code in 2022 meaning players are increasingly able to dodge NRL suspensions for illegal tackles committed in Origin.
