NSW Blues player withdraws from Origin II after suffering a broken arm, reported to have been treated on the spot. Multiple outlets say the player put the broken arm “back in place” himself, then becomes unavailable for the match. The injury is described as a setback for NSW coach Laurie Daley’s team ahead of Origin II.
With the player ruled out, attention turns to potential squad changes. The reports state that Wests Tigers veteran Api Koroisau is now in contention for a recall to the NSW side. Koroisau has been linked to a return after not being involved with NSW selection for about three years, according to the outlets.
Overall, the articles focus on the immediate impact of the arm injury on NSW’s Origin II plans and the likely pathway for a replacement, with Koroisau presented as the main option considered by selectors in response to the withdrawal.
