It’s simple for Blues captain Paul Gallen. Win tonight and take out injured Maroon Billy Slater.

The legendary fullback is set for surgery following Origin II in Melbourne.

“Billy is planning on having surgery on Thursday,” Gallen said.

“That’s a sign where they think their team is at.

“They think they are going to get this win and win the series.

“Billy will have surgery and the rest of the year off. It’s a little bit disrespectful to us.

“Sitting here talking about it is cheap.

“We have to get the win and shut him out for the rest of the year.”
