RL:NSW stick with their guns in quest for Origin history

NSW are refusing to treat their third women's State of Origin game as a dead rubber, with coach John Strange naming a largely unchanged side for the series finale.

After retaining the Shield with a gritty 14-10 victory against Queensland last Thursday at Suncorp Stadium, the Blues are looking to sweep the Maroons on May 28 on the Gold Coast.

But to do that will require a history-breaking victory, as no senior NSW Origin team - men or women - have claimed a 3-0 series win since 2000.

With that feat looming, Strange also wants to avenge last year's game-three defeat which saw the Blues fall short of a series sweep.

He's named an unchanged starting side from Brisbane's game two, although Cronulla's Quincy Dodd will slot into the reserve's No.18 jersey for Corban Baxter, who will wear No.19.
