2020 Vodafone Cup champion Police Sharks players Timoci Namotokula, Mosese Rova, Michael Peters and Apimeleki Lutuimawi will not feature for the Eastern Blues in this week’s Vanua State of Origin decider.

Eastern Blues coach Vulaono Dakuitoga said he was adamant that his final squad to the final Vanua State of Origin clash this weekend will be unaffected despite key players being made unavailable.

“After last week’s grand-final and the Sukuna Bowl challenge coming up, they had been ruled out of participating in the Origin decider this week,” Dakuitoga said.

“It is a blow to our final week of preparation, but I am confident in the remaining players.”

The players are currently in camp for next week’s Sukuna Bowl challenge.
