Mitchell Moses<\/a> has failed to train in yet another NSW Blues<\/a> session, despite coach Laurie Daley<\/a> publicly stating he wanted him at 100 per cent before State of Origin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Daley told media when the team was selected that he expected the five-eighth to be back to at \u201cfull clip\u201d by the time Thursday rolled around.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mitchell Moses trained away from his teammates.\u00a0Getty<\/p>\n

That wasn\u2019t the case however, with Moses training away from the group and still racing the clock to overcome a hamstring injury suffered before game one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moses, as well as centre Casey McLean who is carrying an ankle concern, went through fitness and testing drills while their teammates ramped up preparations.<\/p>\n

While the line from Daley should be raising alarm bells, team doctor Nathan Gibbs remains confident Moses will be fit to take the field next Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cMitch had a really good session,\u201d Gibbs told The Sydney Morning Herald<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe got up to about 80 per cent speed, but also did some volume to get some conditioning under his belt. Hes due to go close to 100 per cent [speed] on Saturday and be incorporated into team training. His hammy feels good.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m confident because of how minuscule the tear was. The tear was tiny. I would expect him to play three weeks later, which is effectively what we\u2019re trying to do \u2013 it will be three weeks and two days next Wednesday since he [injured himself].\u201d<\/p>\n

Should the 30-year-old be ruled out, Ethan Strange<\/a> is part of the six-man bench and trained alongside halfback Nathan Cleary<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Strange starred in his Origin debut in Sydney<\/a>, but was dropped back to the bench to accommodate for Moses\u2019 return. <\/p>\n

Isaiya Katoa was initially named in the Blues\u2019 squad but has been released back to play for his club side the Dolphins on Friday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mitchell Moses has failed to train in yet another NSW Blues session, despite coach Laurie Daley publicly stating…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":729344,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-729343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/729343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=729343"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/729343\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/729344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=729343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=729343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=729343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
