Newcastle forward Tyson Frizell hasn't given up on playing State of Origin but says it could be hard to earn a NSW recall given his side's results this season.
Frizell, 30, missed last year's series due to injury but played all three games for the Blues in 2020 when Wayne Bennett inspired the Maroons to a 2-1 series victory.
The back-rower, who returned last week against the Broncos after a two-game absence, has been one of the Knights' best in multiple matches this season.
