James Tedesco's stunning form seems certain to have been enough for Laurie Daley to make a switch at fullback for the series-ending State of Origin clash, with the Wests Tigers flyer set to be given the nod for his first NSW jumper on Monday.

Daley has been under growing pressure after NSW lost a third series in four years under his watch and it seems Tedesco's breathtaking exploits this year have finally convinced him to plump for the 23-year-old Tiger at No.1.

It is understood incumbent Matt Moylan will be left out of the squad altogether. The Penrith skipper was touted for a spot as a utility on the NSW bench if he surrendered the fullback role to Tedesco, who was even mentioned as a potential candidate on the wing.

But it is understood Daley has opted against having two specialist fullbacks in the squad, with Tedesco's five-star display in the Tigers' win over the Moylan-led Panthers on Saturday night helping sway the decision.
