Two stunning weeks of form from Jarome Luai has seen the Penrith five-eighth retain his spot in the NSW team for Origin I in Adelaide next week.
He is one of five Penrith players named in the team by coach Brad Fittler this morning.
Nathan Cleary, Liam Martin, Brian To’o and Isaah Yeo are also in the team.
Three players will make their NSW debuts. Dally M Medallist and Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks halfback Nicho Hynes, Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs prop Tevita Pangai Junior and Canberra Raiders back-rower Hudson Young will wear the sky blue for the first time.
South Sydney Rabbitohs centre Campbell Graham has been named as 18th player.
