Mitchell Moses races to recover for State of Origin's game two after a hamstring issue, as Parramatta supports his fitness ahead of selection.

The Canberra Times

Parramatta don't have any concerns with the handling of Mitchell Moses's fitness in the NSW set-up, as the Eels skipper faces a race against the clock to play before game two of State of Origin.

Moses was named to start at five-eighth in Origin I but pulled up with a hamstring issue after the Blues' penultimate training session and was replaced by Ethan Strange.

Canberra playmaker Strange had one of the best Origin debuts in recent memory as NSW took a 1-0 lead in the series with a 22-20 win in Sydney on Wednesday.

Moses won't play for Parramatta against Newcastle on Saturday but Eels coach Jason Ryles hopes his star playmaker will be back on deck for their clash with Canterbury the following Monday.
