The New South Wales Blues have suffered a significant setback ahead of Game 2 of the 2025 State of Origin series, losing five-eighth Mitchell Moses to a calf strain.
According to reports from zerotackle.com, Moses sustained the injury during Thursday morning's training session.
Team performance manager Frank Ponissi confirmed the unfortunate news, stating, "Unfortunately Mitch Moses suffered a calf strain at training this morning about 20 minutes into the session just taking it down a short side.
He has been ruled out of State of Origin II." The severity of the injury is still uncertain, but Ponissi noted that the Blues' medical staff is collaborating with the Parramatta Eels medical team for further assessment.
Moses will undergo scans and then return to Parramatta for recovery.
