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.

Fittler is confident Sims will be cleared to play.

"I know they're trying to make a stance in the game and everyone understands the stance. I'm just not sure if this is the tackle they need to do it," Fittler said.

"We wish him all the best. I feel like once they sit down and scrutinise the timing, considering they had time on the field to scrutinise it with video referees and didn't even give a penalty, so I just think he'll get it downgraded."

Overlooking Knights prop David Klemmer – a veteran of 13 Origins who had a solid showing in game one – will raise the temperature of some Blues fans.

But again Klemmer (wrist) wasn't there in game two when Fittler's men clobbered Queensland 38-6, so he missed out for game three.
