Injury Can’t Stop Him: Crichton Expected to Suit Up for NSW Blues
Despite an injury scare that left fans and selectors concerned, Stephen Crichton is expected to take the field for the New South Wales Blues in the upcoming State of Origin series. The star centre, who sustained a minor ankle knock during a recent club match, has reportedly responded well to treatment and remains confident about his fitness.
Crichton has been in outstanding form this season, and his inclusion is seen as critical for the Blues’ game plan, particularly with several key players already sidelined. NSW coaching staff have closely monitored his recovery, and sources indicate he is likely to be cleared to play without restriction.
Blues coach Michael Maguire praised Crichton’s resilience and commitment, noting that his presence adds strength and stability to the team’s backline. “Stephen’s a competitor. He knows what this jersey means, and he’s doing everything he can to be ready,” Maguire said.
As anticipation builds for Game 1, Crichton’s expected return will boost team morale and provide fans with hope for a strong performance. While nothing is certain until game day, all signs point to Crichton pulling on the blue jersey once again and continuing his impressive Origin legacy.
