Tedesco set to join NSW Blues after Edwards ruled out of Origin I

Westpac NSW Blues fullback Dylan Edwards has today been ruled out of Game One of the 2024 Ampol State of Origin Series at Sydney Olympic Park where he was set to make his debut on Wednesday.

Edwards had scans this morning which revealed a strained left quadricep. He will remain in camp with the Blues.

Subject to ARLC granting approval for James Tedesco to come from outside the 20 selected players announced on Monday, he will join the squad later today in Sydney.

The NSWRL would like to acknowledge the Sydney Roosters for the cooperation and understanding they have provided throughout the process.
