Origin statement from Tedesco<\/p>\n
At fullback Dylan Edwards and Tedesco are in scintillating form, while Mitchell Moses and Jarome Luai are battling it out for the right to partner Nathan Cleary in the halves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The introduction of six-man benches poses a new wrinkle for Daley and Queensland coach Billy Slater to navigate, with the makeup of the interchange likely to play a key role in determining the winner of Game One at Accor Stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before Daley makes his final decision, it’s time for the fans to put their selectors hat on and pick their Blues team for the series opener.\u00a0<\/p>\n
