Laurie Daley has named Sydney Roosters three quarter Blake Ferguson (pictured) in his nineteen man extended squad for Origin Game One on the 1st of June.

Long regarded as one of the games outstanding young talents, the Indigenous All Star has struggled with off field problems but seems far more settled since linking with the Roosters.

Daley will need to name a final seventeen but Ferguson seems certain to play in a must win Game One for the Blues.
