ROBBIE Farah has been ruled fit to take his place in NSW’s side for State of Origin II next Wednesday after being cleared of a shoulder injury.

Farah on Monday night had a fitness test on the shoulder he injured in Origin I in Sydney and was cleared to play.

“He has really good movement, he’ll be able to train this week and he’ll be fine to play,” NSW doctor Nathan Gibbs told The Daily Telegraph last night.

Prop Andrew Fifita will be dropped from the Blues team to make way for returning captain Paul Gallen.

Origin players Trent Hodkinson, Josh Morris, David Klemmer, Josh Jackson, Josh Dugan and Trent Merrin all got through Monday’s Bulldogs v Dragons match.

Bulldogs fullback Brett Morris will be on one wing, likely to replace Daniel Tupou.

LIKELY NSW SIDE: Josh Dugan, Brett Morris, Josh Morris, Michael Jennings, Will Hopoate, Mitchell Pearce, Trent Hodkinson, James Tamou, Robbie Farah, Aaron Woods, Beau Scott, Ryan Hoffman, Paul Gallen (c). Interchange: Boyd Cordner, David Klemmer, Josh Jackson, Trent Merrin.
