‘We were untouchable’: Blues Origin duo have been smashing QLD since they were teens.

New halves partners Nicho Hynes and Jarome Luai didn’t get to train together on Wednesday morning as the Blues had their first proper session as a team in the Blue Mountains.
“Jarome and I have played touch footy for NSW back in the day when we were in high school so we’ve known each other for a long time,” Hynes said, with the Blues halfback not taking part in Wednesday’s session.

Combinations are nothing new for the duo who starred for NSW more than a decade ago as part of an “untouchable” team that beat Queensland.

While NRL combinations at rep level have been the trend in recent years, Hynes and Luai are hoping to replicate what they did back in their high school touch football days in a team stacked with kids who would go on to play in the top grade.
