NSW coach Laurie Daley says Jarryd Hayne has "outgrown'' the wing and is poised to be named in the NSW centres for next year's State of Origin series.
The only problem is that Hayne regards himself as a fullback.
Playing Hayne at right centre to confront Queensland's Greg Inglis would allow Josh Dugan and Brett Stewart to fight for the vacant fullback spot.
Daley's comments come as the draw for next year's Origin series was released with the second game at Sydney's ANZ Stadium to be played on June 18. .
''Jarryd was very impressive at centre,'' Daley told The Daily Telegraph. ''He will be in the team somewhere and I think he has outgrown the wing.
''He can give us another option at centre and more depth. He played centre for Australia so he may well play centre for NSW.

''I think we need him in a position where he can do a bit more. I was impressed how he handled centre ... the way he took a knock (in the final) and defended strongly.
''I think the best of Jarryd is still in front of him. As I said, he will be there somewhere.
''Blake Ferguson will be another option at centre if he is available, Josh Morris, Michael Jennings and maybe Hayne.''

But Hayne still wants to return to the No. 1 jersey.
"I think that is what everyone is talking about (moving to centre) but for me I really enjoy fullback and that attacking side of that,'' Hayne said after the World Cup final.
''Being on the edge is one of those positions where you can have games where you don't really see the ball and you can have games where you see all the ball.
"It is not dictated by how good you play, it is dictated by the halves inside you.
"(At fullback) you get a lot more places to roam and you can sort of have a lot more impact on the game."
Despite criticism the series was too long, NRL officials decided to leave three-week gaps between games.
NRL officials wanted to retain the lengthy breaks between matches to ensure marquee games are not played with Origin stars unavailable.
"We obviously try to place byes strategically through that particular area of the season to help compensate teams that are heavily affected by State of Origin and its impact on clubs," said NRL general manager of football operations, Nathan McGuirk.
"So we obviously also try and reserve marquee events or match-ups from our stand down Origin rounds when our superstars aren't playing and reserve those for rounds outside that time period."
The representative weekend will be played on the weekend of May 2 to 4, with the traditional midyear Test between Australia and New Zealand played on the Friday night and City-Country - to be contested at Apex Oval, Dubbo - on Sunday.
The full NRL draw will be released tomorrow.
