Dylan Edwards, the Westpac NSW Blues fullback, has expressed confidence in five-eighth Mitchell Moses succeeding in his positional change to the left edge for the upcoming Origin opener.
Reports from nrl.com.au indicate that the selection of two right-edge halves-Moses and halfback Nathan Cleary-has necessitated this shift.
With expectations that Queensland will target Moses, he will play alongside Angus Crichton, Latrell Mitchell, and Brian To'o on the left edge.
Edwards, responsible for the defensive organization of the NSW team, acknowledged the significant challenge this presents.
However, he reassured fans that the squad has dedicated time during their training camp to address any defensive concerns.
Additionally, Edwards expressed confidence in the impact of teammate Leniu, anticipating he will contribute effectively when inserted into the game midway through the first half.
