NSW captain Jake Trbojevic is unfazed by the prospect of playing limited minutes again this State of Origin series, shrugging off the criticism that followed his cameo in game one. Meanwhile, the Blues insisted second-rower Liam Martin is on track to play in the must-win second game despite missing training to rest his toe injury on Wednesday.
