The NSW Blues’ Dale Finucane has reacted to praise offered up by coach Brad ‘Freddy’ Fitter.

Freddy last week told Mark Levy Finucane, who has been named vice-captain for Origin III, is a hard worker who has made impressive progress.

“It’s very humbling to hear that,” Finucane responded.

“Obviously [it was] disappointing missing out on the first game … [and] coming in on injury cover for the second game, but to be involved in the third game is very, very special.”
