Tevita Pangai will debut for NSW in State of Origin I after Jake Trbojevic's problematic calf prompted the Manly star to rule himself out of the series opener.
Trbojevic looked set to be picked for the May 31 clash in Adelaide before reporting calf soreness in his NRL comeback game on Sunday afternoon.
That prompted a last-minute change of plan for NSW coach Brad Fittler, calling Pangai into the squad as one of three debutants alongside Cronulla's Nicho Hynes and Canberra's Hudson Young.

Raiders skipper cops two charges from Manly defeat
Canberra Raiders co-captain Elliott Whitehead had an expensive game on Sunday, with the NRL match review committee fining him over two incidents in the last five minutes of the defeat.
Whitehead was first charged for dangerous contact on Sea Eagles five-eighth Josh Schuster in the 74th minute.
The body check into Schuster's back came after an error from Manly as they tried to pierce through the Raiders defence by throwing the ball around.
NSW, Queensland reveal squads for first State of Origin game in Adelaide, with debutants named for both sides
The squads are in for this year's opening State of Origin game in Adelaide, with the Maroons giving Broncos young gun Reece Walsh a chance in place of Kalyn Ponga, while the Blues name three debutants, including Nicho Hynes.
For the Blues, Hynes has been rewarded for his strong play for the Sharks at half-back with his first inclusion in a NSW squad.
Manly's Jake Trbojevic was a late withdrawal from the squad, giving the Bulldogs' Tevita Pangai Junior a chance to make his Origin debut.
Canberra back-rower Hudson Young is in line for a debut as well.
