The Blues announce that Victor Radley, Addin Fonua-Blake, Tolutau Koula, Blayke Brailey, Ethan Strange, Casey McLean and Dylan Lucas are included among the debutants. Multiple outlets report the same list of first-time Origin selections, indicating a major influx of new talent for the opening match. The announcements come ahead of the series opener and outline the NSW roster the Blues will field at the start of the campaign. While the sources focus on the debutants, they do not provide further detail in the provided text on the full team lineup beyond the names of those making their first appearance. Overall, the reporting agrees that NSW is bringing several new players into the Origin arena for the first game, rather than relying solely on returning Origin experience.
