NSW coach Laurie Daley has named Jarryd Hayne in his side to face Queensland in the State of Origin decider on July 17 despite the Parramatta star battling a hamstring problem.

Hayne is one of three players going into camp on Monday under an injury cloud with skipper Paul Gallen and back-rower Greg Bird nursing foot and ankle injuries respectively.

Josh Dugan has been named at fullback with Hayne on the wing.

South Sydney winger Nathan Merritt was axed after his difficult debut in the game two loss in Brisbane at the end of last month.
