Maroons coach Mal Meninga drafted the Canberra Raiders forward into the Maroons' squad as one of four changes to his side for the Origin III dead rubber in Brisbane.

Justin Hodges returns from injury with Matt Scott also named in the starting team while Shillington and Neville Costigan were included on the bench for the first time this year.

Queensland has won the opening two games and collected a record fourth successive series victory.

While NSW wants to prevent a whitewash, Shillington put his counterparts on notice and declared Queensland would not relax just because the series was wrapped up.

''There's not going to be any slacking off out there at all,'' Shillington said. ''We're missing a couple of players there but the ones coming in watched the first few games and are more than capable of doing the job.

''The rest of the players are confident and [as a new player] I'll be doing my best to make sure they have confidence in me doing my thing.''
