Westpac NSW Blues coach Laurie Daley has announced that he will maintain the same starting lineup for the State of Origin decider against Queensland on July 9 at Accor Stadium.
After winning the first game 18-6 in Brisbane, the Blues faced a setback in Game Two, where they lost 26-24 in Perth, leveling the series.
Key players have been confirmed to play, including chief playmakers Nathan Cleary, who is recovering from a groin injury, and Jarome Luai, who is battling an infection.
Additionally, winger Brian To'o, despite a recent knee concern and ongoing hamstring issues, has also been named in the squad.
Early in the recent game against the Bulldogs, To'o received treatment for his knee, which had been strapped before he finished the match.
Following their performance and To'o's condition, he is expected to have sufficient time to prepare for the crucial decider, allowing the Blues to field their strongest team in a bid to secure the series victory.
