Origin: The NRL 360 panel believe the Blues number six and halves combo will define Michael Maguire's coaching role at NSW, and provided their take on who it should be.
In just over a month new Blues coach Michael Maguire will pick his side for State of Origin I — and there’s a big question mark over what he’ll do at five-eighth.
The only place to watch every game of every round LIVE with no ad-breaks during play is Fox League, available on Kayo. New to Kayo?Cody Walker is the incumbent but the Rabbitohs veteran has had a disappointing start to the season.Or there’s Eels playmaker Mitchell Moses, who filled in at halfback when Cleary was injured last year, but said during pre-season that he’d be happy to play five-eighth. However, Moses isn’t due to return from a foot injury until a week before the team is picked.
But Read believes it’s a poor look for New South Wales to go knocking on the door of a player that stepped away from rep footy. Riccio said Luai is “always in the frame” but believes NSW’s win in game three last year with Walker and Moses in the halves shows “the Blues can move on there.”“Nicho Hynes is a big body, who shows all the skill set. What’s he done wrong? He’s done nothing wrong to not be in the consideration to walk into this football team,” he said.
“One thing I find at this level, as you know, they’re not far between the talent, but it’s the character of the player that I’m really keen to learn and get a good understanding because building the character of the team is something that feels really important on where we are right now and in moving forward,” Maguire said at a press conference on Tuesday.
