Try-scoring winger in doubt for State of Origin decider…
A major blow could be looming ahead of the State of Origin decider, with a key try-scoring winger now in serious doubt due to injury. The in-form flanker, who has been instrumental throughout the series with his explosive runs and finishing ability, suffered a setback during his club’s weekend match and is undergoing urgent assessments.
Medical staff are closely monitoring his condition, but sources suggest he’s battling a hamstring strain that may not heal in time for the high-stakes clash. His absence would be a significant loss for the Blues/Maroons (depending on team), not just for his attacking spark but also his reliability under the high ball and in defence.
Coaches are reportedly considering a replacement, with several fringe backs on standby should the winger fail to prove his fitness. While there’s hope he’ll recover in time, the clock is ticking, and his status remains a major talking point as both camps enter final preparations.
Fans and teammates alike will be anxiously awaiting a decision, knowing the winger’s presence could tilt the balance in what’s shaping up to be one of the most hotly contested deciders in recent years.
