REVEALED: BLUES’ BIZARRE PRE-GAME RITUAL
For Tommy’s sake, let’s call it the Samson Effect.
He might bleed Blue, but even the late Tommy Raudonikis might have a few choice words about the pre-game ritual of some of the Blues players running out for Origin II tonight – getting perfectly manicured eyebrows at the beauty salon.
A handful of Blues – including Penrith superstars Jarome Luai, Brian To’o and Stephen Crichton – dedicated their only day off during camp in Perth to seek out a beautician on Thursday to help get them primed to face Queensland.
The hairy crew obviously follow the manscaping advice of Atlanta Falcons NFL legend Deion Sanders: “If you look good, you feel good. If you feel good, you play good.”

And “playing good” is exactly what the Blues need, as Luai, To’o and wrecking balls Junior Paulo and Siosifa Talakai will need to let their hair down and put their guards up against a Maroons side that ambushed all predictions in Game 1.
For Luai, his waves hold special meaning. The Blues five-eighth made a pact with his young son Izzy to both grow out their hair.
“It was something for us, father son, to do together. That was the main reason. But then Bizza (To’o) jumped on board and grew his hair, too,” Luai said.
“My son cut his hair over Christmas time. He got a little over it but I’m still holding on to it. When I started growing it, we were having a really good season and I was too scared to cut it … it felt like it was a bit of good luck, so I wanted to keep that luck going.”
