NSW coach Brad Fittler has stuck solid with the 17 players from game two as he pushes for back-to-back Holden State of Origin shields next week at ANZ Stadium.
There may be a question mark over Dragons back rower Tariq Sims, who is fighting a grade two dangerous contact charge in the NRL judiciary on Tuesday night, but Fittler has named him anyway.
Prop David Klemmer (wrist) wasn't there in game two when Fittler's men clobbered Queensland 38-6, so he has missed out for game three.
The injury cloud over Nathan Cleary (ankle) has not completely lifted but obviously the medical reports Fittler has received from the Panthers are enough to convince him his 21-year-old halfback will be good to go.
