Graham predicts skipper Cordner to beat calf injury and play State of Origin III

New South Wales Blues teammate Wade Graham believes captain Boyd Cordner will play in the deciding State of Origin match in Brisbane despite a calf injury threatening to end Cordner’s Blues campaign.

“It’s hard to get a read on Boydy because he’s not a real emotional guy, but he seems confident,” Graham said.

“He gets his confidence from knowing how hard he works to get things right.

“I’m like everyone else – we all have our fingers crossed the calf comes good and he’s right for Origin three.

“My mindset is Boydy is right.”

The disappointment was plain to see on Captain Boyd Cordner’s face last night, and scans revealed today he has a torn calf. #9News pic.twitter.com/NaxAtXCk0n
