Westpac NSW Blues five-eighth Mitchell Moses is set to team up with Nathan Cleary for the first time in the upcoming State of Origin opener.
As reported by penrithpanthers.com.au, Moses has stated that Cleary will take on the role of primary playmaker.
Both players have been known as ball-dominant halves for their respective clubs, prompting questions regarding their on-field synergy.
Last year, with Cleary sidelined due to injury, Moses stepped up and led NSW to a remarkable series victory, showcasing his skills by being named man of the match in Game Two and scoring the decisive try in the decider.
As Moses prepares to wear the No.6 jumper, he embraces the opportunity despite the positional change, expressing enthusiasm for the "freedom to roam" that comes with playing five-eighth.
