At least six Penrith stars are set to be named when NSW rolls out their strongest club combination in State of Origin for over a decade on Sunday night.
Blues coach Brad Fittler will unveil his squad for Game I after round 12, with likely debutant Stephen Crichton set to headline a heavy Panthers contingent.
Crichton remains the favourite to be named at centre alongside uncapped Brisbane star Kotoni Staggs, filling in for the injured Latrell Mitchell and Tom Trbojevic.
