Cooper Cronk believes the Blues should replace Nathan Cleary with Adam Reynolds, while Matty Johns and Gorden Tallis says Cody Walker must come in for Jarome Luai.
They'd both still pick reigning Dally M Medal winner Nicho Hynes but Cronk would play him off the bench while Johns has him in the No. 7 jersey.
Johns, who played four games for New South Wales, said if coach Brad Fittler doesn't pick Haynes to start in Game 2 then he never will.
