It’s been revealed that Boyd Cordner has turned to a spiritual healer in a bid to get fit for the all-important Origin decider on July 12.
The Blues skipper has been seeing a Sydney inner-west energy specialist after suffering a calf strain in Origin II.

Tyson Frizell is also in doubt. “He carried a rib injury into the Dragons game last week and came out of it with another injury,” said Girds.

Do you bring someone in like Nathan Brown, who’s been in great form for Parramatta and would thrive in that Origin arena.”
