In preparation for the State of Origin opener, Blues player Angus Crichton spoke about facing his Roosters teammate, Robert Toia, who is set to debut for Queensland.
Despite his pride in Toia's achievements, Crichton emphasized that personal admiration would take a backseat during the intense rivalry.
"Me and Latrell will be going after him, for sure," Crichton stated at an Origin media event, indicating that both he and Latrell Mitchell plan to target the young player.
While Toia's selection is not questioned in terms of talent, it has raised concerns regarding its timing as he enters a high-pressure match.
