Westpac NSW Blues coach Laurie Daley is set to retain the same starting lineup for the State of Origin decider on July 9 at Accor Stadium, following their loss to the Maroons in Game Two.

According to nrl.com.au, the Blues secured a victory in the opening match, defeating Queensland 18-6 in Brisbane, but the series was leveled with a 26-24 loss in Perth.

The decider will take place in Sydney on Wednesday, July 9.

Key players Nathan Cleary, who is dealing with a groin issue, and Jarome Luai, recovering from an infection, have both been included in the lineup.

Winger Brian To'o, who has been managing a hamstring problem, also remains a part of the team despite concerns about a knee injury he sustained during a game against the Bulldogs.

To'o received treatment for the knee during the match but continued to play, later applying ice to the area post-game.

He now has nine days to prepare for the crucial Origin decider.
