NSW Blues monitor Moses and Crichton's injuries ahead of the King's Birthday clash, with selection concerns for Game Two.
Zero Tackle
The NSW Blues will see whether Parramatta Eels halfback Mitchell Moses and Canterbury Bulldogs centre Stephen Crichton will be available for the King's Birthday clash.
Although they are expected to be named on Tuesday afternoon for their Round 14 match, there are injury concerns with both players.
Despite Ethan Strange stepping into the five-eighth role and arguably being the Blues' best player in Game One, Blues coach Laurie Daley, on Channel 7's Agenda Setters on Monday night, has commented on whether Mitch Moses will be selected for Game Two.
"Mitch did all the training, all our major sessions," Daley stated when talking about the lead-up to Game One.

Strange hungry for more Origin after 'massive' lessons
Ethan Strange impressed in his State of Origin debut, leading NSW to victory and crediting rivals Mitchell Moses and Nathan Cleary for their guidance.
The Canberra Times
Ethan Strange puts his standout State of Origin debut down to one thing: his main selection rival.
The 21-year-old five-eighth provided the spark for NSW to overcome Queensland 22-20 in the series opener last Wednesday, thrusting him into conversations about whether he should become the starting No. 6 for game two at the MCG on June 17.
Strange was only parachuted into the starting line-up after first-choice five-eighth Mitchell Moses picked up a hamstring niggle in camp.
But regardless of the outside talk, Canberra's playmaker credits Moses and halfback Nathan Cleary for helping him have a debut to remember.

Eels reveal Moses injury outlook ahead of Origin II
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.
