NSW VB Blues coach Laurie Daley has finalised his starting 17 for Game One of the 2016 Holden State of Origin series at Sydney’s ANZ Stadium on Wednesday (1 June).
Having sent Tyson Frizell and Josh Morris back to their clubs, Daley has named enforcers Andrew Fifita, David Klemmer and James Tamou on the bench, alongside Sea-Eagles speedster Dylan Walker who will play the utility role on Wednesday night.
Boyd Cordner and Josh Jackson will start in the backrow, Matt Moylan will wear the number one jersey for the first time and as expected, Josh Dugan has been named in the centres.
