State of Origin: Nathan Cleary's teammate Brian To'o spoke to the media ahead of Game 1, speaking on Cleary's injury and suggesting he might even play.
New halves partners Nicho Hynes and Jarome Luai didn’t get to train together on Wednesday morning as the Blues had their first proper session as a team in the Blue Mountains .
While NRL combinations at rep level have been the trend in recent years, Hynes and Luai are hoping to replicate what they did back in their high school touch football days in a team stacked with kids who would go on to play in the top grade. Nicho Hynes was a terrific touch football player before he made it in the NRL. Picture: Peninsula Junior Touch Facebook“I was 15 and he might have been 14. We actually beat Queensland in the grand final in that touch game so hopefully we can do the same thing.
“I reckon we can keep building our relationship off the field and it’ll transition on the field. He’s a great person and he’s got plenty of energy. I feel like I’ve got a bit of energy as well so hopefully we can build on that.”The pair have been tasked with ending Queensland’s two-year reign just days after Luai led Penrith to a thumping win over the Sharks who lost Hynes to a calf issue at half-time.
