The New South Wales Blues have named their squad for State of Origin III at ANZ Stadium with Wests Tigers star James Tedesco set to make his debut ahead of Matt Moylan who has been dropped from the fullback role.
Tedesco was set to be named for Origin I before injury struck and will now get his chance in the dead rubber in Sydney.
Bryce Cartwright was again overlooked with Wade Graham taking the role he would have played if not for suspension prior to Game II.
“There’s no such thing as a dead rubber. We were disappointed after game two and we need to come out and give a good performance for our supporters, which I’m sure we’ll do,” coach Laurie Daley said.
Blues team: James Tedesco, Blake Ferguson, Josh Dugan, Michael Jennings, Josh Mansour, James Maloney, Adam Reynolds, Paul Gallen, Robbie Farah, Aaron Woods, Wade Graham, Josh Jackson, Tyson Frizell. Interchange: Jack Bird, David Klemmer, Andrew Fifita, James Tamou.
