Cruel blow as axed NSW State of Origin hero ruled out and return from injury 'unclear'
Angus Crichton’s hopes of earning a State of Origin recall for Game 3 have been ruined by a foot injury, with the Roosters forward’s return reportedly “unclear”. Crichton has been ruled out of the Roosters’ NRL clash with Cronulla on Sunday night after battling a foot issue for weeks.
The Daily Telegraph reported on Sunday that the injury has been “hampering Crichton for quite some time”, and the 30-year-old will “seek advice” this coming week to determine what it could be. Concerningly, the report states it’s “unclear” how long the second-rower will be sidelined.
Crichton won the Wally Lewis Medal the last time NSW won the State of Origin series in 2024, and all up has represented the Blues 17 times. Matty Johns has called for Laurie Daley to turn to experience for the decider at Suncorp, which would put players like Angus and Stephen Crichton, Liam Martin, Latrell Mitchell, Tom Trbojevic and Api Koroisau all in the frame.
