Peats firms as top No.9
2018 COMMONWEALTH GAMES HOST CITY running full speed at training on Wednesday.
Given Wallace did not return to the field yesterday, it is unlikely he could be training by Wednesday at NSW’s camp in Kingscliff.
It looms as a crushing blow for Wallace, who last played for NSW in 2009.
Daley and his chief adviser Peter Sterling will speak again this morning to nail down their hooker.
It was unknown last night whether NSW would pick Wallace or rule him unavailable immediately.
The NSW camp was late last night seeking urgent medibattling cal reports on Wallace from Penrith’s medical staff.
“He’s got a groin problem and he just couldn’t stretch out,’’ Panthers coach Anthony Griffin said.
“He did it in a funny way. He said he was on his back and someone fell on him.
“He couldn’t stretch it out after that. We are just going to have to get a scan and see what happens. Hopefully for him, it is not too serious.’’
Peats is young, cheeky and ready for Origin, according to Titans teammates.
Farah has been a regular in the Blues side since making his Origin debut in 2009. In other Blues news:
