State of Origin: Blues captain Jake Trbojevic has laughed off suggestions he should be axed from the team following criticism from former NSW player Mark Geyer.
Blues captain Jake Trbojevic has responded to questions over his place in the NSW side after being limited to just 29 minutes in the series opener .
Watch every game of every round this NRL Telstra Premiership Season LIVE with no ad-breaks during play on Kayo. New to Kayo?“He did, but he didn’t have to,” Trbojevic told reporters.“It’s the highest level. It’s not like under-8s where you share your minutes. I’ve been around a long time. Trbojevic was then asked what he thought of the comments of Mark Geyer after the Blues great declared he should be dropped for the must-win clash in Melbourne.
“I was maybe a bit standoffish at the start because there are some great players there, great captains. It’s been a better start to the camp for myself ... hopefully I can just keep building.”Reece Walsh left the Origin series opener after only eight minutes, but now Maroons coach Billy Slater has a plan for his star fullback to wreak havoc on the Blues.
Slater reportedly wants Walsh to attack through the middle of the park using inside balls to slice through the Blues’ defence, calling on his time as a player at the Storm.
