Seven Panthers have been named in the NSW Blues squad for the State of Origin decider at Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday 13 July.
After a man-of-the-match performance in Game Two, Nathan Cleary will direct the side from halfback, alongside club halves partner Jarome Luai.
Panthers outside backs Brian To'o and Stephen Crichton have also been named in the starting side, as to hooker Api Koroisau and forwards Liam Martin and Isaah Yeo.
Fittler has largely retained the same starting side which beat Queensland 44-12 in Game Two at Optus Stadium in Perth to level the series at 1-all.
Jordan McLean, who was part of the extended NSW squad for Game Two, replaces Payne Haas who has been ruled out through injury.
Canberra Raiders five-eighth Jack Wighton, who played in Game One in Sydney but missed Game Two with COVID-19, has been named as 18th man.
