Jake Trbojevic and the entire NSW squad will rejig their Origin preparations to pay their respects to Immortal Bob Fulton – the "big dog" who personally stepped in to secure two of the most important signings in Sea Eagles history.
Brad Fittler has shuffled the Blues training on Friday to have his 19-man squad attend Fulton's state funeral at St Mary's Cathedral, where they will form a guard of honour for the Manly icon alongside the current Sea Eagles NRL side.
Across an incredible life in rugby league Fulton acted as a Blues selector for 18 years and is a NSWRL Hall of Fame member.
