The decision is in regarding Ethan Strange's participation in the crucial Game 3 of the State of Origin series.
NSW Blues talent Ethan Strange has received approval to compete in Wednesday's decider after concerns emerged about his injury just days prior.
Strange sustained a rolled ankle during practice last Thursday, leading to him being seen in a moon boot in subsequent days.
This situation threw the Blues camp into disarray, prompting coach Laurie Daley to call for Matt Burton as a backup in case Strange was unable to play.
Fortunately, reports from Nine indicate that Strange has fully recovered, signaling that Matt Burton will leave the Blues camp in Kingscliff.
The Blues have faced considerable challenges in their preparations for all three of the Origin matches in 2026.
Star half Mitchell Moses was sidelined for Game 1 due to a hamstring issue, and Casey McLean also faced injury just before the second game, suffering a quad strain.
Strange's ability to overcome his ankle injury provides a significant lift for the team.
The Raiders player etched his name into Origin history during his debut in Game 1, where he scored a try, produced three tackle breaks, and led a remarkable Blues rally in the second half.
