Casey McLean says he knew as soon as he hurt his ankle against Wests Tigers that he would be fit and available for NSW State of Origin selection a day later if needed.
The Penrith centre sent a scare through the state camp early in the second half of Sunday's 68-0 thumping win over Wests Tigers when he landed awkwardly contesting a kick.
McLean initially attempted to play on, before coming off the field for tests from club medical staff.
