Pick me at six – that's the message from Blues incumbent Matt Moylan to NSW coach Laurie Daley and may just be the tonic to cure Penrith's early season woes.

Fairfax Media understands Moylan is keen to move into the halves in a bid to help ignite Penrith's stuttering season, but there has been a resistance at the Panthers to move the skipper out of the fullback position.

The Panthers skipper was told a fortnight ago that he would be the City Origin five-eighth, but a host of withdrawals and a team selection conundrum has forced him back into the familiar No.1 jersey for this Sunday's final clash against Country.

With James Tedesco all but guaranteed to wear the Blues No.1 jersey in the opening game of the series, Moylan has expressed his desire to move into the halves and appeared disappointed to learn the news that he would shift into the fullback role to accommodate Bryce Cartwright in the City Origin side.
