Warriors captain Ryan Hoffman fears his State of Origin career might be over after being overlooked for next Wednesday's second interstate clash as a replacement for suspended New South Wales back-rower Wade Graham. "I didn't hear from anyone from New South Wales but I was really hopeful of getting the call especially with the decision last night, but New South Wales have chosen to go in another direction." But New South Wales, they've made their point that they want to go in another direction, so all the best to them." Despite his omission, Hoffman is enjoying the Warriors recent rise in form, following back-to-back wins over Brisbane and Newcastle.
