Mitchell Pearce and Blake Ferguson are back in State of Origin contention for NSW after being named in the Blues extended training camp squad.
NSW coach Brad Fittler has selected 32 players to be involved in a training camp next month.
Both Pearce and Ferguson, who were overlooked for Origin this year, have made the squad along with Cameron Murray and Tevita Pangai Jnr.
Nineteen of the 32 picked were involved in the Blues' series win this year.
"For most of them it will be the first time we've seen them since after the series," Fittler said.
"It puts a full-stop on finalising the year and getting their feedback from this year's series, and also allows us an opportunity to look ahead for our defence of the Shield in 2019.
"It's always beneficial to get them to spend time together. We won't be training but having them around each other will only further strengthen the bond they formed this year."
