Brad Fittler will challenge NSW to let their horror injury toll inspire them after Tom Trbojevic became the fifth Blue to go down inside 14 days.
Fittler had his worst fears confirmed on Saturday with news Trbojevic's State of Origin hopes were gone and his season almost certainly over after dislocating his shoulder in Manly's loss to Parramatta on Friday night.
The superstar fullback-turned-centre in Origin is still awaiting results of scans, but there are fears he could miss at least three months depending on the damage.
