Canterbury playmaker Mitchell Moses is in doubt for the New South Wales State of Origin opener after suffering a hamstring injury, according to multiple reports. Moses is sent for scans on Monday to assess the extent of the problem. In response to his potential unavailability, Canterbury teammate Matt Burton is rushed into the Blues squad as cover. The reports indicate Burton is added to ensure New South Wales has a suitable replacement option ahead of the opening match. While the sources agree on the injury setback, the outcomes of the scans and the final decision on Moses’s participation have not been reported in the provided material. The situation is being managed to maintain squad depth and selection flexibility for the Origin period. The Blues will await medical findings from Moses’s scan before determining whether he can take his place in the starting team or needs to withdraw from contention for the opener.
