The Sky Blues ran an opposed session against the Knights’ Jersey Flegg team, and while frustrating at times, Kylie Hilder called it the best way to prepare.
After winning game one of the first-ever three-game women’s State of Origin series, the Sky Blues are 70 minutes away from reclaiming the shield in front of a sold-out crowd in Newcastle on Thursday night.
“I know after 10 minutes they were really flustered and frustrated because it was really fast, but that’s what I want. Because Origin in that first 10 minutes you come out here, and you’re gone within the snap of a finger. It’s not a new tactic from NSW. Last year the team ran an opposed session against the Raiders’ Jersey Flegg team, and co-captain Isabelle Kelly agrees it is the best preparation for the team.“We do that basically every year, and it’s been probably one of the best things we’ve ever done,” Kelly said.
“They’re going to be strong, and we know that,” Kelly said. “Kezie and I have played with a lot of these girls before, and we know that they’re professional athletes in the way that they take it onto the field, we’re not going to take them lightly at all.”
