NSW will blood up to five debutants with Laurie Daley bringing a host of new faces into a 19-man squad for Origin I.

Penrith pair Matt Moylan and Josh Mansour, Rabbitohs No.7 Adam Reynolds and Manly’s Dylan Walker have been named and are expected to feature in the Blues final 17-man squad for this year’s Origin opener on June 1.

Also included in the extended squad are St George Illawarra’s Tyson Frizell, while Panthers backrower Bryce Cartwright has been ruled with a thumb injury after being initially named outside the 19-man group as a development player.

His replacement is expected to be named later on Monday.

NSW will field their fourth halves pairing in as many years with Reynolds to partner Maloney at the scrumbase.

Incumbent playmakers Trent Hodkinson and Mitchell Pearce are casualties from Queensland’s emphatic 52-6 victory in game three to claim last year’s series, as are veteran forwards Beau Scott, Trent Merrin and Ryan Hoffman.

Will Hopoate also misses out, as does Michael Ennis, while incumbent centre Josh Morris has also been included in the extended squad.

Moylan will don the NSW No.1 jumper with Josh Dugan shifting to the centres where he will partner Parramatta’s Michael Jennings.

Bird is expected to lock the scrum as skipper Paul Gallen shifts to the front row in what will be his final interstate series, with James Tamou and David Klemmer reinforcing the pack from the bench.

Dugan (elbow) and Robbie Farah (concussion) will both go into camp with injury concerns, though neither is in doubt for the series opener.

Dugan will be on a modified training program throughout the week, while Jennings will have to come through the Eels’ Monday night clash with Melbourne unscathed before joining the squad.

“I’m excited for these guys who are here today and I’m sure they’ll wear the Blues jersey with great passion,” Daley said at the Blues squad announcement in Sydney.

“I feel for those guys (who didn’t get picked).”

Daley did not name his squad in position and refrained from identifying which two players would drop out of the squad.

“We have a couple of players in doubt, we don’t have to name a team for a while, so we will see how it goes,” Daley said.

Despite Daley’s unconventional method of naming the playing group, it is expected the Blues final 17-man squad will line-up this way:

1. Matt Moylan

2. Josh Mansour

3. Michael Jennings

4. Josh Dugan

5. Blake Ferguson

6. James Maloney

7. Adam Reynolds
