In a sporting showdown that has all the makings of a classic underdog story, the New South Wales Blues are pinning their hopes on the return of Mitch Moses to ignite a fiery comeback at the MCG.
With the series on the line, it's a make-or-break moment that echoes the glory days of Rugby League history.
Thirty years ago, the Blues pulled off a legendary series comeback, and now they are banking on Moses to channel that same fighting spirit as they prepare to face off against their archrivals in Melbourne.
Partnered with Jarome Luai in the halves, Moses has been called upon to inject some much-needed firepower into the team after a disappointing performance in the series opener.
Having battled back from a fractured foot, Moses is primed to make his mark on the game with his dynamic playmaking skills and unwavering leadership.
The Blues are counting on him to lead the charge and rally the team to victory in a must-win match that will determine their fate in the series.
Luai, who knows firsthand the impact that Moses can have on the team, is confident that his halves partner is the key to unlocking the Blues' full potential.
With Moses at the helm, the team is poised to turn the tables on their opponents and stage a comeback for the ages.
"He's been a real driving force for us, and his leadership has been a game-changer," Luai remarked.
"We're ready to follow Mitch into battle and leave it all out on the field.
It's do or die for us now, and we're ready to fight tooth and nail for the win."
