On Monday, the NSW Blues underwent a significant squad change due to an injury concern surrounding Mitchell Moses.
Reports from 9News indicate that Moses has been sent for scans due to experiencing tightness in his soft tissue.
At this point, it remains unclear whether the issue is related to his hamstring or calf.
Given Moses's crucial role in the NSW Blues spine, his absence would be a considerable setback if he is unable to play right before the match.
In light of this situation, Bulldogs standout Matt Burton has been quickly brought into camp on the Central Coast, as there are rising concerns over Moses's fitness for the State of Origin clash on Wednesday night.
Additionally, Ethan Strange is reportedly on standby for a surprising debut if Moses does not successfully navigate the next 48 hours of evaluations.
Burton's versatility makes him a valuable option; he can easily adapt to play at centre, five-eighth, half, or even in the forwards when needed.
Fans can look forward to the NSW Blues facing off against the Queensland Maroons at Accor Stadium on May 27.
