Cameron Smith, a renowned figure in Queensland rugby, advocates for selecting Harry Grant as an interchange player in Origin II.
According to nrl.com.au, Grant thrives when coming off the bench, particularly in his partnership with Ben Hunt for both Queensland and Australia.
Historical performance supports this strategy, as the Maroons have secured victories in six out of the eight Origins where Grant started from the interchange.
With Hunt currently out due to a hamstring injury, coach Billy Slater faces a challenge, as no other player matches Hunt's versatility.
