Panthers star Nathan Cleary will miss games after injuring his hamstring, while Mitchell Moses could miss up to eight weeks with a foot injury.
Origin playmakers Nathan Cleary and Mitchell Moses are both facing stints on the sideline with injuries.
Cleary needed six weeks to recover after tearing his left hamstring in a tight win over St George Illawarra last June, missing the final two games of NSW's State of Origin campaign. In better news for the Roosters, halfback Sam Walker has been cleared of concussion and will line up against the Panthers.
The 29-year-old was the NSW halfback for the final two games of last year's series in the absence of Cleary.After undergoing surgery, Moses will race the clock to be in consideration for a spot in the Origin set-up this year. The Eels' other back-up playmaker, Jake Arthur, son of coach Brad, left the club midway through last season to join Manly.
