After a false start for the opening game of the State of Origin series, NSW halfback Nathan Cleary is backing Mitchell Moses to overcome his fitness concerns as the Parramatta captain watched the Blues' first training session from the sidelines.
Cleary described Moses as the best kicker in the NRL as the Blues dusted off the cobwebs in Wyong on Wednesday.
Moses was ruled out of the series opener less than 48 hours before kick-off with a hamstring injury.
But Canberra's Ethan Strange and Cleary, who was named man of the match in Sydney, were able to guide the Blues to a 22-20 win.
A week out from Origin II in Melbourne, Moses underwent rehabilitation work away from the main group.
