Penrith Panthers are raving about Liam Martin's inspiring performances, with Stephen Crichton praising his rugged style on the field.
Crichton, who has shared the field with Martin for both club and state, believes that Martin is among the elite when it comes to delivering bone-crushing tackles that send opponents reeling.
Martin made a huge impact for the New South Wales Blues in their recent Game One clash, showcasing his toughness with a massive hit on Queensland's J'maine Hopgood that had the Sydney crowd roaring with approval.
Despite dealing with a turf toe injury, Martin took it easy during the Blues' initial training session in the Blue Mountains.
However, he is expected to ramp up his involvement in the upcoming session as he continues to manage his training load.
Martin's tenacity and determination make him a key asset for the Blues as they gear up for the next showdown.
