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.
8. Angus Crichton (Sydney Roosters)
After a delayed start to his 2023 NRL season, Angus Crichton has two games to impress 'Freddy' Fittler against the Bulldogs and Panthers to take one of the interchange spots.
Not unknown to the Origin arena, with 11 previous appearances, Crichton's experience will be invaluable to the side. He's also strong on both ends of the field and can be dominant in limited minutes coming off the interchange bench.
