NSW are welcoming a frontal assault from Queensland in State of Origin III, after the Maroons curiously changed their successful long-term selection policy of holding a utility on their interchange bench.Injury to Michael Morgan and Josh Papalii has forced Maroons coach Kevin Walters to rejig his line-up.However instead of choosing another utility to replace Morgan, as his predecessor Mal Meninga would have likely done, Walter recalled Nate Myles and gave Gavin Cooper his Origin debut to give the Maroons a four forward bench.Blues prop James Tamou is expecting a torrid battle in the middle of the field as a result.We know they are concentrating on the middle, we know they will be coming up the middle and we will be ready for that, Blues prop James Tamou said.I guess you could say was have had some success with that ourselves, with the big boys we do have on the bench and Queensland have probably noticed that and want to do something about it.They might not throw it around out wide as much as they have done.ANZ Stadium usually offers a dewy surface at night during July that is not conducive to expansive rugby league, one reason why Walters has gone for a four forwards bench rotation.Laurie Daley will play Matt Moylan off the bench as the Blues utility in game three at ANZ Stadium on Wednesday, something that could give NSW an edge.Morgan is a big loss from them, he adds that spark but with Gavin Cooper there and Nate Myles back from injury they are going to try and go through the middle and that is what we have to stop, Blues interchange forward David Klemmer said.We have some big bodies on the bench so I think they are trying to match us.Klemmer said a win in game three was vital for the Blues confidence going forward into next year.There is a lot of pride on the line for us, to win this and go into next years series as a group that would be good with this young team, and we can go into camp game one next year on a good note, he said.We cant let them win 3-0, it is Gals (Paul Gallen) last game and we cant send him out a 3-0 winner.The Blues backs had an oppose session against a group made up of local Coffs Harbours players at their Novotel Resort base on Saturday morning, while the forwards trained together as a group.NSW fly back to Sydney on Sunday afternoon. They will have an oppose session against the NSW under 20s side, which includes NRL players Lachlan Croker and Jack Cogger, at ANZ Stadium on Sunday night. Buffalo Bills Jerseys .

Dawson Knox Jersey . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday. Jordan Poyer Youth Jersey . -- Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa will be out at least six weeks with a torn tendon in his right hand. PITTSBURGH -- Plenty of the numbers from Pittsburghs breezy 99-80 victory over Gardner-Webb looked pretty.And none of them mattered to coach Kevin Stallings. Sure shooting 54 percent and never being challenged on Monday night was nice, especially three days after needing double-overtime to hold off Eastern Michigan in Stallings coaching debut with the Panthers. Yet Stallings is more concerned about whether his team is ready for a far sterner test on Thursday against SMU at Madison Square Garden in the 2K Classic.You look at our defensive numbers, they were indicative of a team that was not really wired into play, he said. Thats my fault. Thats my job.Cameron Johnson scored 18 points and made all four of his 3-point attempts for Pitt (2-0). Michael Young put up 18 points and seven rebounds in 15 minutes after being held out of the starting lineup for only the second time in his career due to a minor violation of team rules. Sheldon Jeter added 14 points and a game-high 13 rebounds.Still, the Panthers led the Runnin Bulldogs trade baskets early in the first half and for long stretches in the second. Stallings wonders if his players are getting a little too caught up in the free-flowing offense Stallings brought with him from Vanderbilt.Maybe Ive sent the wrong message about tempo and offense and things like that, Stallings said. Were not ready to beat anybody thats equivalent to us in terms of talent because we dont sustain any type of defensive intensity.At one point in the first half, Stallings pulled the entire starting five off the floor in frustration.I think he just wanted more effort and energy, Johnson said. He cited a lack of focus for that.Not that much was required over the final 30 minutes after a 10-0 burst that included a pair of 3-pointers by Johnsoon to give the Panthers a 30-14 lead that was never threatened.ddddddddddddRUNNIN WITH THE PANTHERSLaQuincy Rideau finished with a career-high 23 points for Gardner-Webb (0-2) while adding eight rebounds and six assists. David Efianayi scored 20 points and Liam OReilly chipped in 14. The Runnin Bulldogs spread the floor to provide Rideau with room to slice his 6-foot-1 frame through the lane.I felt there was little more space where maybe we could attack the paint off the dribble, Gardner-Webb coach Tim Craft said. The problem is we werent converting. Some of the finishes were a little wild.BIG MAN DEBUTPitt junior Rozelle Nix made his long-awaited debut after missing last season with a foot injury. The 6-foot-11, 300-pound Nix entered with just over 4 minutes left and finished with four rebounds and on emphatic block on Gardner-Webbs DJ Laster that sent Nixs teammates erupting off the bench.He got me once like that once, Jeter said. Im not ashamed to admit it. Im not afraid to admit it.BIG PICTUREGardner-Webb: After managing just 44 points in a lackluster loss to SMU in the opener last week, Gardner-Webb was happy to try and keep pace with Pitt in what Craft called a learning experience for a young team that will rely on Rideau and Efianayi -- both sophomores -- to carry some of the scoring load.Pitt: Despite the defensive issues, the Panthers seem to have quickly embraced what Stallings wants to do on the other end of the floor. The Panthers made 13 of 26 3-pointers and finished with 29 assists on 35 field goals.UP NEXTGardner-Webb: plays Eastern Michigan in Indianapolis on Friday.Pitt: faces SMU on Thursday at Madison Square Garden.
