Target Jarryd Hayne all you like.
That is the message to Queensland from New South Wales Blues coach Laurie Daley, who has dared the Maroons to single out the Gold Coast star in his return to the State of Origin arena.
The last time Hayne pulled on a sky blue jumper he was NSW's co‑winner of man of the series and the deciding factor in their 2014 drought‑breaking series victory.
However when he runs out for tonight’s Origin opener at Suncorp Stadium, the Maroons are aiming to expose the two‑time Dally M medal winner as a liability.
Queensland skipper Cameron Smith confirmed Hayne would be targeted at left centre after playing three club games there for the Titans and being exposed several times.
Daley laughed off the Maroons captain's suggestion their left side had defensive deficiencies.
The Maroons will host the Blues at 10pm tonight.
