James Tedesco, Wade Graham and Josh Dugan are the fresh faces in the NSW Origin side for the third game of the State of Origin series to be played at ANZ Stadium on July 13.
Tedesco missed selection for game one through injury but has replaced Matt Moylan in the side at fullback, with Dugan also returning from injury at the expense of Dylan Walker.
After being initially selected for game two and subsequently missing through suspension, Wade Graham will finally get his first taste of Origin football, with experienced campaigner Greg Bird making way.
Brothers Jake and Tom Trbojevic as well as Panthers young gun Bryce Cartwright have been included in the wider squad as development players.
