NSW plans to target Queensland's Sam Walker defensively, but coach Josh Hannay believes Walker will rise to the challenge in the State of Origin decider.
NSW have a plan to get at Queensland half Sam Walker defensively, but former Maroons assistant Josh Hannay insists the Sydney Rooster will be up for the challenge.
Hannay, now Gold Coast coach, took charge of the Titans in an opposed training session against the Maroons on Thursday morning at Sunshine Coast Stadium.
Titans left edge back-rower Beau Fermor fulfilled the task of Blues second-rower Hudson Young by keeping the heat on Walker in preparation for the State of Origin decider at Suncorp Stadium on July 8.
According to murmurs out of the Blues camp, Young, who will play on Walker's side, had said the Queensland half was a hard man to target because he was well hidden defensively "on the wing".
