After the NSW Blues lost to Queensland on Wednesday night, ten players will have two weeks to support their case for Origin selection for New South Wales.
Coach Brad Fittler is sure to make at least a couple of changes as he fights for his job as NSW head coach and to keep the 2023 State of Origin series alive.
From some players who possibly should have been picked for Game 1, to players to returning stars and others overdue for a debut, here are the ten players Fittler could bring into calculations for a Game 2 jersey.
3. Tevita Tatola (South Sydney Rabbitohs)
The Bunnies front-rower, Tevita Tatola was a surprinsing name not in the conversation for Game 1, despite many fans and critics thinking he deserved Tevita Pangai Junior's spot.
The reigning George Piggins Medalist, Tatola could be used as an immediate switch for Pangai Junior to partner Payne Haas. A consistent performer, you known what to expect from him with strong runs, impeccable defence and very little ball-handling mistakes.
