Brad Fittler and Michael Crocker believe that in-form Josh Dugan can still provide the Blues with plenty of scoring power from fullback in State of Origin I this Wednesday.
NSW assistant coach Brad Fittler agrees that Jarred Hayne's absence will be felt, but is confident the Dragons' fullback can step up.
Fittler says Hayne is like Billy Slater, the bigger the game, the better he becomes.
The Blues will face the Maroons at 10pm this Wednesday.
Meanwhile tonight, the Knights will face the Broncos at 9pm.
