Stephen Crichton has raised alarms in the NSW camp after leaving Monday's training with a leg injury, while Payne Haas participated in his first training session ahead of State of Origin.
Queensland legend Corey Parker criticized Terrell May for expressing disappointment over not being selected for the Blues squad.
According to au.news.yahoo.com, coach Laurie Daley faces dual injury worries before Wednesday's match at Suncorp.
Crichton suffered his injury during an opposed session and left with ice strapped to his leg, not joining his teammates afterward.
Campbell Graham from the South Sydney Rabbitohs is on standby to replace Crichton if needed.
NRL Physio Brien Seeney noted that if Crichton's issue is merely a corked thigh, he might still play on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Haas only started training after entering camp with a quadricep injury.
He began running again in Brisbane's warmer weather on Monday.
NRL reporter Jelisa Apps noted that Haas was "warming up by himself," but stated he reportedly completed most of the session and is expected to play.
However, she confirmed Crichton's injury as "the more concerning thing," highlighting that he seemed to have a cork in his quad.
Additionally, Apps observed that several Blues players appeared battered, with Zac Lomax icing his foot after practice.
