NSW Premier’s bold jersey bet for QLD rival; Blues shut up shop in last-minute switch — Origin Daily

NSW Premier Chris Minns has challenged his Queensland counterpart Steven Miles to a Game I bet - with the loser to wear the opposite state’s Origin jersey.

Wearing a NSW Blues scarf, Minns said on Tuesday afternoon: “I’m throwing a big, bold, open offer to the QLD Premier. If NSW, when NSW wins State of Origin, he has to wear a Blues jersey for a whole day... Or maybe 25 minutes.”

One journo immediately jumped on it, asking: “In parliament?”

NSW reveal big kicking call amid ‘telltale sign’ Hynes is ‘ready’ for Origin redemption

Minns lit up: “In parliament, sure. Yep!”

Asked what he would do in return should NSW lose, he replied: “What does it matter? We’ve got this locked up.”

Premier Miles has not yet responded to the challenge.

Nicho Hynes put his hand up to take on the goalkicking duties for New South Wales — and that initiative could be the best indication yet of where he’s at mentally ahead of Wednesday’s series opener.

Hynes’ rocky and short-L. ived taste of State of Origin has been well-documented. He was named on the bench in game one last year and thrown into the unfamiliar position of right centre.

He missed a crucial tackle that led to a Queensland try and was ultimately dropped by ex-coach Brad Fittler for the remaining two games.

The 27-year-old will get his first start, in his preferred position — halfback — on Wednesday night and has been surrounded by speculation since entering camp.

Hynes has been battling a calf niggle and failed to finish his final game for the Sharks before selection. Nonetheless Michael Maguire picked Hynes, but had Roosters veteran Luke Keary on standby

After a false start, Hynes finally hit the ground running at training late last week and was declared a sure starter.

And now, as assistant coach Matt King revealed to NRL 360 on Tuesday night, Hynes has taken on an extra level of responsibility — goalkicking.

“Nicho will take the reins, he’s got the better percentage (out of all of the options),” King said.

“I think Zac (Lomax) would play second fiddle to him but we’re blessed with goal-kickers for sure.

“Nicho will get the points for us tomorrow night.”

Speaking on NRL 360, News Corp journalist Dave Riccio declared that Hynes taking on the goalkicking is: “A great telltale sign that this guy is ready.”

“I think it says a lot about the mentality of Nicho Hynes,” he said.

“For everything we’re talking about, for all apparently the pressure that he’s going into this game (under), he’s decided to put his hand up and take on the goalkicking duties as well.

“That’s a big call, he could easily back out of that and say ‘no, Crichton or Lomax you do the job, I’ll focus on running the team.’

“But I think that says a lot about his mental strength, preparation and readiness for this game to take on the added job.”

NRL 360 host Braith Anasta agreed, saying it was “the right call” and believes it could help build his confidence too if he nails some kicks early.
