Gold Coast star David Fifita is challenging his dangerous contact charge at the judiciary in a bid to take his place in the Queensland side for Origin III.
Fifita has elected to challenge the grade-one charge for a hit on Canberra's Sam Williams - his two similar offences in the past two years ensured an early guilty plea would not have reduced the penalty to a fine.
Fellow Maroon Val Holmes was hit with a fine for a crusher tackle on Kalyn Ponga in Newcastle on Saturday night, meaning he is free to play in game three for Queensland.
Holmes will be fined $1350 after submitting an early guilty plea.

The Roosters on Monday announced their pleas to the charges handed down to forwards Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Daniel Suluka-Fifita.
Waerea-Hargreaves will front the judiciary on Tuesday in an attempt to avoid a fine for a contrary conduct charge while Suluka-Fifita has accepted a one-game suspension for a dangerous contact offence.
Following a review of Sunday's matches, the only player charged was Sharks forward Jack Williams. He is facing a $1350-$1800 fine for a contrary conduct offence.
Bulldogs hooker Jeremy Marshall-King has accepted a two-game ban for a crusher on Manly's Morgan Harper.
The ban would have increased to three games if Marshall-King fought the charge unsuccessfully at the judiciary.
Marshall-King's teammate Ava Seumanufagai has been hit with a grade-one dangerous contact charge for an incident involving Martin Taupau. He will miss one game with an early guilty plea or two matches if he challenges the charge and loses.
