Dylan Edwards has put the pressure on incumbent NSW fullback James Tedesco with a standout performance for the Penrith Panthers in the NRL.
Edwards was on fire as the Panthers dominated the injury-hit Rabbitohs, showing off his skills with 200 run metres, two line breaks, six tackle busts, and a perfect kicking game with seven conversions.
But it was Edwards' brilliant assist for Taylan May that really turned heads.
With a quick-witted move to exploit the Rabbitohs' fatigue, Edwards took a Cody Walker kick and raced down-field before setting up May for a spectacular try.
This play not only extended the Panthers' lead, but also showcased Edwards' game awareness and execution.
With his consistent performances and ability to step up in crucial moments, fans are calling for Edwards to be picked over Tedesco for the upcoming Origin series.
Edwards has already outshone Tedesco once this season, and his latest performance has only added fuel to the fire for Blues coach Michael Maguire to consider him for the fullback position.
