Mitch Moses to miss up to six weeks, ruled out of third State of Origin game
Mitchell Moses won't return for the third State of Origin clash after scans confirmed the severity of his calf injury which has provided a hammer blow to the Blues and his club side Parramatta. Jarome Luai was brought into NSW camp late on Thursday after confirmation star playmaker Moses had strained his calf, ruling him out of next Wednesday's second clash with the Maroons.

Moses might not be back in the NRL until as late as round 21, cruelling the chances of the Eels to lift themselves out of second last on the ladder in new coach Jason Ryles' first season in charge. It comes after Moses had his 2024 season ended by a bicep injury in last year's third Origin clash. He only played eight games last season. NSW coach Laurie Daley vowed to charge on without Moses, confident Luai could get the job done and adamant the late change wouldn't prove too big a hurdle to overcome. 'It's a funny game, rugby league. With the group of guys that you've got, you've got to make sure that they're prepared really well,' he said. 'We've had setbacks and challenges all the way through the campaign so far. 'But I'd be disappointed if the fact that we lost a guy six days out and we couldn't cope with that. 'I think the guys are very professional. 'It's not like we're bringing in a rookie; we're bringing in a guy who has won Origin series before and won four grand finals so he knows what he's doing.'

The Blues and Storm great who taught a Maroon to soar on the field…and in the classroom
Queensland Maroons flyer Xavier Coates has declared news of Mitchell Moses' withdrawal from the New South Wales side did not faze him, as he plots to inspire a State of Origin boilover in Perth. One of the most elite finishers the NRL has seen, the Melbourne Storm winger was poised to endure a Moses bombing barrage, only for news to emerge a calf injury had ruled him out. It reunites Jarome Luai with Nathan Cleary in the Blues' halves, their first time playing together since winning four Penrith premierships before Luai's departure for Wests Tigers. While Moses stands as one of the NRL's most lethal kickers, Coates was adamant Luai presented a different challenge to address. 'His running game is just really strong – he creates a lot of opportunities around him,' Coates said. Loading 'I'm still going to be expecting those kicks to be put up on Wednesday night. They're both right foot kickers, Moses and Cleary, and now they've got Luai who's a left foot kicker, so they can kick both sides of the field. 'They've played a lot of games together, and with the experience, they can build really good combinations and create a lot of effective shape around them.' Fate always seemed to point Coates towards becoming one of the game's leading wingers, a destiny he would realise upon leaving the Brisbane Broncos to further his career in Melbourne.
