Hudson Young looms as the likely replacement in the starting side, with Panthers forward Lindsay Smith in line to make his international debut off the bench.
The news comes after head coach Mal Meninga said the side would remain the same for the final, whether it be against Tonga or New Zealand.
"We like to win championships … it's still up for grabs," he told 9News Sydney.
"We probably need to go with the same 17, but we will make the decisions over the next week or so. I think there's still room for improvement in us.
"Combinations and cohesion are really important in making sure that happens."
