James Tedesco returns as NSW's first-choice fullback for State of Origin, beating out Dylan Edwards due to his attacking prowess, alongside six debutants in the squad.
James Tedesco's attacking brilliance has helped the Sydney Roosters captain edge out Dylan Edwards and reclaim his crown as the Blues' first-choice fullback.
Tedesco was the headline inclusion when NSW coach Laurie Daley announced his squad for the 27 May series opener in Sydney on Monday.
Daley has shown little regard for history after losing last year's series, picking six debutants - Tolu Koula, Addin Fonua-Blake, Blayke Brailey, Victor Radley, Ethan Strange and Casey McLean - in his 19-man squad.
