NSW enforcer Hudson Young ready to hunt down Maroons playmaker

NSW players plan to target Queensland's Sam Walker, who defensively "hides on the wing" to avoid NSW forwards during Origin.

The Australian

NSW players are vowing to hunt down Sam Walker after claiming the Queensland halfback "hides on the wing" in defence.

Walker has been monumental for Queensland this series and will be heavily targeted by the Blues forwards during Wednesday night's State of Origin decider in Brisbane.

Maroons coach Billy Slater regularly pushes Walker onto the wing defensively - sometimes for up to four tackles a set - to protect his gun playmaker from being roughed-up by the giant NSW forwards.

This masthead found Walker defending on the wing at least 20 times during the opening two Origin games.

NSW players were also aware that Walker was chirping and sledging while defending on the winger.
