Mitch Moses will return for the next Origin match as coach Laurie Daley praises debutant Ethan Strange's impact in the team's comeback victory.
A NSW selection dilemma looms for the second State of Origin match, but Blues coach Laurie Daley insists Mitch Moses will be back in the team if fit.
For a second time in three Origin matches, five-eighth Moses needed to be replaced at the 11th hour after injuring himself during Blues camp.
Elevated from the bench with only two days' notice, debutant Ethan Strange was integral to the Blues' comeback from 20-0 down and eventual 22-20 win against the odds.
Most notably, Strange put Stephen Crichton into a hole down the left side and then backed his centre up to cross for the first of the Blues' three second-half tries.
