Blues seek pre-Origin drugs guarantee No disruption necessary: NSWRL wants to avoid NSW's Origin campaign being derailed by ASADA's investigation. NSW officials are planning to provide ASADA with a squad of Blues players they want exempted from questioning over the NRL doping scandal during the State of Origin series. Fairfax Media understands the NSWRL is in the process of compiling an extended list of Blues players for ASADA to ensure the State of Origin campaign isn't derailed by the investigation when they head into camp on May 28. The Blues want the players identified in their list of likely Origin players to be exonerated from interviews and questioning by ASADA officials before Origin. That list of players, along with the plea, is expected to be sent to ASADA by the end of the week. The Blues want the the investigation expedited to ensure the team is not affected on the eve of rugby league's showcase event, or delayed so the players are not burdened while at camp. At a news conference on March 20, NRL boss Dave Smith said ASADA's interview process would take four to six weeks. It is learnt that as of Tuesday, no players had been interviewed by ASADA. If questioning begins this week and runs for the anticipated six weeks, it would end on the eve of the opening State of Origin match on June 5, which means the Origin players may have to face ASADA officials during the camp. It is an unwanted distraction as Laurie Daley looks to end Queensland's seven-year stranglehold on the State of Origin series in his first campaign as head coach. There are several players from the six clubs mentioned in the Australian Crime Commission's report who played for the Blues in last year's series, and several more in contention to play this season. Cronulla, who have up to 14 players under the microscope, boast Blues skipper Paul Gallen and five-eighth Todd Carney on their roster. One of the other clubs mentioned in the report was Manly, with Anthony Watmough, Brett Stewart, Glenn Stewart and now Bulldog Tony Williams in contention. The Cowboys have James Tamou, the Knights have Kurt Gidley, and the Panthers have Tim Grant as well as former players Luke Lewis and Michael Jennings. None of the players from Canberra are expected to play for the Blues, but David Shillington is a near-certainty to be part of Queensland's campaign. Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan revealed last week the difficulties his team has faced over the past month-and-a-half trying to deal with the scandal that has engulfed the club. He admitted the players were struggling to cope with the inquiry and it had limited team training sessions to just one per week. The Blues will have just nine days in camp to prepare for the opening game of the series and know they cannot afford to take on the all-conquering Maroons with a hampered preparation and some of their players preoccupied with other matters.
