A barely blooded NSW No.7, or a battle-hardened veteran back for his first Origin in seven years, will be tasked with saving the Blues’ campaign after Nathan Cleary was ruled out of game two, and almost certainly the series.
The Rabbitohs and NSW are also still awaiting definitive news on a groin strain that has put Cameron Murray in doubt for Origin II, while Moses has played in one Origin in 2021, a dead-rubber loss on the Gold Coast, when he replaced an injured Cleary and played through the pain of what was later revealed to be a back fracture.Given the high stakes of the June 17 clash on Queensland soil, there is a push for Brisbane’s marquee man Reynolds to also be considered.
Origin III falls on July 12, with the Blues to select their squad for the game 10 days earlier. Given Penrith have a round 19 bye before that selection date, even if Cleary is fit, he would be coming into the decider without any recent game time under his belt.
