Canterbury star Matt Burton has been named in the NSW State of Origin side.
The Daily Telegraph has been told Burton will be chosen at centre when the Blues team is released at 7pm on Sunday.

He will replace Broncos centre Kotoni Staggs, who has been dropped.

Burton’s ability to play in the halves gave him a decisive edge.

NSW will field a new centre combination with Stephen Crichton to be selected for his first starting game at Origin level.

Telegraph also said Talakai is playing centre. How can Stephen, Burton, Talakai all be playing centre.

i’m glad it’s a stand alone and we don’t have him missing any games though

plot twist; fitler left burto and JAC out of game 1 so they’re available for the dogs but picks them for games 2 and 3 so they don’t miss any club games due to stand alone and bye?

'"Canterbury winger Josh Abdo-Carr has been unable to force his way into the team, with Roosters winger Daniel Tupou set to be retained. Cronulla’s Nicho Hynes, who was 18th man for Origin one, is expected to fill the same role for game two."

Freddy was just asked about this on 9 and he said he’ll be watching addo cars game closely today

Had hoped Fittler wouldn’t pick him, I wish him all the best but hope he loses his first origin match…
