‘I've got that dog in me, bra': Why Luai's inclusion is a big win for Blues
'They are your brothers, you've made a lot of memories with them. You're a New South Welshmen, so you want them to get the job done. I wanted to be there in that jersey. I am so happy the boys got the job done. They really went after it … now I get my opportunity.' Luai was dropped for game three in the 2023 series, and overlooked again this year despite his key role in last year's winning side. The double rejection had only made the Wests Tigers co-captain appreciate every game he now played in the sky blue. 'It's good to feel the energy, I woke up this morning and dialled in,' he said. 'I messaged the missus [Bailey], and said my perspective now is to make the most of every moment, [because] you never know when it will be the last time you wear the jersey. You need to nail every day and do your best; you need to do your best and bring that shield home.' Blues winger Brian To'o had his hamstring heavily strapped but was able to complete training against the NSW Origin under-19s side. NSW medical staff are expecting him to play in Perth, and did not even bother having back-up winger Jacob Kiraz at Sydney Olympic Park on stand-by. Zac Lomax was naturally disappointed for his Parramatta teammate Moses, who is now facing up to six weeks out with a calf injury, but praised Luai for giving all those around him plenty of confidence. 'Jarome is that guy who plays so instinctively and plays what's in front of him – he's really passionate as well,' Lomax said. 'Jarome has a lot of confidence, and that's why he's had the success he's had as a player. That's what we love about him. He brings that confidence to his teammates as well.' The Blues flew west late on Saturday, have a rest day on Sunday and will resume preparations on Monday. Eels facing halves crisis after Moses blow The loss of Mitchell Moses to a calf injury the next six weeks – and the suspension to Dylan Brown for shoving a referee – has heaped pressure on Parramatta ahead of next Sunday's possible Spoon Bowl against the Gold Coast Titans. The Eels lost Brown to a one-match suspension after he ran into the back of Gerard Sutton while chasing after a kick in the first half against Canterbury on Easter Monday. And when Moses went down with a calf injury at Blues' training on Thursday, it suddenly meant Parramatta would be without their starting halves for at least one game. The Titans win over Manly on Friday night meant they moved to 12 points, alongside the Eels and Newcastle Knights on the ladder. To be fair to Parramatta, only four points separates sixth to 17th. But the last thing Parramatta need is to stall after starting to make some drastic improvements on the field, especially once Moses returned from a foot injury. Loading Coach Jason Ryles has Dean Hawkins, Ronnie Volkman and 20-year-old rookie Joash Papalii as halves options. Dylan Walker is also no stranger to wearing the No. 6. Zac Lomax was naturally disappointed to see his good friend Moses break down at training in the Blue Mountains on Thursday, but was backing his club to continue marching forward. Lomax admitted earlier in the week Brown was unfortunate to have been suspended for his run-in with Sutton, and that 'I watched that replay, and I don't know how you can run around [the ref]; I know when I'm going for the ball, my eyes are always on the footy ... it's a tough one.' Loading As for the double halves blow, Lomax said: 'Dean Hawkins has been there, and the game he played [agaionst Manly] before Mitch came back, he was unbelievable. With Dyl out, Ronnie Volkman is there, and we've got Joash. 'It's not ideal with both of them out, but that's where your depth comes in, and you have to make it work. 'Joash is a really good player, he's light on his feet, and whenever we do opposed sessions, and he's in the Cup team, he trains really well. He's earned his way into the 17, and 'Rylsey' believes in him. He'll be a really good player.'

NRL news: Braith Anasta calls for Bulldogs to make tough call after Lachlan Galvin scalp, latest news, Parramatta Eels
Don't miss out on the headlines from NRL. Followed categories will be added to My News. Braith Anasta has warned that the Lachlan Galvin signing could disrupt the Bulldogs' momentum and will likely result in a major backline reshuffle. The 19-year-old's contract saga has dominated the rugby league news cycle for several weeks before it finally came to a head last week when he signed with the Bulldogs on around $750,000 a season. Many expected Galvin to make his debut in the Easter Monday clash against the Eels, but the teen phenom has instead been named outside the 17. Although a late change could be on the cards. FOX LEAGUE, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every game of every round in the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership, LIVE with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited-time offer. His arrival at Belmore had many speculating he would take the spot of No. 7 Toby Sexton, who has been a revelation in 2025 and is a large reason why the Dogs sit pretty at the top of the NRL ladder. But Anasta told that he believes Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo has other ideas and instead representative centre and current Dogs five-eighth Matt Burton will shift to fullback, with Galvin handed the No. 6 jersey and fullback Connor Tracey playing off the bench or dropped to reserve grade. 'I think Galvin is a 5/8 not a halfback,' Anasta told 'I know many are saying he will play seven but the Galvin signing isn't a short-term play. Where he fits their system right now is tricky. 'I'm sure the Dogs would have spoken to him openly about where he could potentially play but there isn't an obvious spot for him to come into. I would think they will most likely give Sexton the next few weeks to see if he continues to knock it out of the park. 'If he does they have two options, play him (Galvin) off the bench for the year or if not I don't mind the idea of playing Burton at fullback. Braith Anasta has called for Matt Burton to play fullback, pushing Toby Sexton out of the side. Image: Getty 'It doesn't mess up the team chemistry, Burton's kicking game isn't taken away by being at fullback, and of course that is tough for Tracey, but Burton fits the mould of the modern fullback arguably better. 'Fullbacks these days are runners, who are real ball players and it (playing fullback) would allow him to inject himself into the game as he likes. If it was up to me I'd be doing that before anything else so as to not interrupt the team as much. 'I could see them really having success with Burton at fullback along with Sexton and Galvin in that spine but again a lot of it really rides on Sexton.' If Galvin is to be a late inclusion, he will likely be met with a mixed reception from fans, coming up against the team he turned down, the Eels. While Tigers fans also feel aggrieved by his decision to exit the club and his return to the joint venture will almost certainly result in him being booed and jeered every time he touches the ball. That reaction is nothing new to Anasta, who in his playing career had a mixed reaction after he joined the Roosters, due to the fact he was a Rabbitohs junior. So ahead of Galvin's possible debut, the player-turned-Fox League pundit passed on some words of wisdom to the teenager. 'My words of wisdom with anything like this is you've made your decision now and have to just back yourself,' Anasta told Canterbury Bulldogs signing Lachlan Galvin. Lachlan Galvin is pushing to be a late inclusion. 'He (Galvin) sounds like a really switched-on kid with a high footy IQ. All I'd say is block out the noise as it's really irrelevant. 'What people think, feel all their opinions about you are irrelevant unless they're the ones closest to you like your family, friends your boss and your coach. 'Because everyone's always going have an opinion and not everyone's always going to agree with the decisions that you're making in life but it doesn't matter. It really doesn't matter as long as you know you're confident in your own ability, confident in the decision you make and you work hard. 'For Galvin, the sky is the limit, the decision to leave has been made, he can put all that behind him and look forward to playing footy.' The Bulldogs take on the Eels in an epic Kings Birthday blockbuster on Monday. You can catch all the action live on Kayo Sports.
