In front of a large crowd that is expected to include Blues coach Michael Maguire, the Eels star faces a unique challenge at Accor Stadium on Monday.
As far as State of Origin barrier trials go, you would expect Mitchell Moses to have few problems unpicking the defence of a team not in the top eight.
The Bulldogs have leaked just 193 points . At the corresponding time last season, that number was 300. The year before it was 321, and in 2021 it was 360. Moses, on the back of just one week of training after overcoming a long-term foot problem, produced a blinder against Cronulla last week. That performance, combined with an underwhelming one from Nicho Hynes in the opening State of Origin game, has again put the Eels No.7 in the frame for a Blues recall.While Moses won’t have to deal with Viliame Kikau, who would have been working him over defensively had he been fit, the Bulldogs will make shutting him down a priority.
“There was a bit of a line-in-the-sand moment early in the season where our team was getting pushed around,” Ciraldo said. It’s said that styles make fights, and that is what makes Monday’s clash between the old 1980s rivals so intriguing. Parramatta play a power game through the middle of the field, led by mammoth props Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Junior Paulo.
