Concreter marks Latrell in Blues training
Jerome and Mitchell were working on their plans whilst Trell was up to his tricks. The Blues brought in sharpshooter Daryl Halligan to work on their range of possible goal kickers for their must win game. All the focus was on Liam Martin and his dodgy toe. He was under the close watch of the Blues high performance team. He started off scratchy but was moving well when our cameras were asked to leave. His teammates say he's fine. He right and he's the he's the softest tough guy I've ever seen. We didn't get to see the Blues opposed session with Saint Mary's. This 24 year old concreter took a day off work to mark the Blues biggest star Luttrell Mitchell. Oh man, it was a handful. He was a big boy. Seeing him on the TV and stuff and coming up against him. Nah, it's a very good experience. Did you lay him out or did you hit him hard? Yeah, yeah. No, he let me out. And then when I was about to come against him, he was telling me to put pressure and I think his defence has gone better since against me. The Blues intensity is lifted partly due to the spray from Nate Miles in game one. His sledge of Joseph Swali hasn't gone down well with the Blues, 9 News can reveal The NRL has warned both teams about their sideline behaviour, but the Blues were not the ones having cracks at a rookie player as they were experiencing the toughest moment of their career. The enthusiasm of Jonathan Thurston on the sideline has also come to the attention of the NRL and the Blues. The NSW players are playing down the sideline sledge. Did you guys just forget that Nate Miles gave him a spray on the way off? Was that something you you put to one side or is it something that's in the memory? No mate, it is what it is. I mean footy's, footy's footy and I mean Origin. Things get a bit more heated in the Blue Mountains. Danny Weidler, 9 News.
