Harry Grant proved he belongs as a starting hooker for Queensland in the State of Origin arena in Perth but he now wants to back it up with another elite display in the decider.

Heading into game two of the series, won 26-24 by the Maroons, Grant had a 0-4 record as a starting No.9 and a 6-2 history coming off the bench.
