NSW Blues have had a major squad reshuffle on Monday following an injury scare to Mitchell Moses, with 9News reporting he has been sent for scans following tightness in his soft tissue.
It is unknown at this stage if it is a hamstring or calf problem for Moses, who is an integral part of the NSW Blues spine. His absence would be a significant blow if he were to be ruled out on the eve of the match.
Bulldogs star Matt Burton has been rushed into camp on the Central Coast following fears that Moses will not be fit to run out on Wednesday night for the State of Origin clash.
Ethan Strange is also reportedly on standby for a shock debut if Moses is unable to make it through the next 48 hours of testing.
