S\ufeffpencer Leniu<\/a> has revealed his conversations with Latrell Mitchell<\/a> ahead of next week's must-win State of Origin<\/a> clash, claiming the pair are ready to leave their issues behind.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the year, Mitchell was extremely vocal regarding Leniu's racial slur directed towards Ezra Mam<\/a>, publicly condemning the actions of the Roosters front-rower.<\/p>\n

Fast-forward to June 26 and the pair will be running out as teammates for NSW<\/a>, with the Blues desperate to save the series after a devastating loss to Queensland<\/a> in game one.<\/p>\n

Speaking to 9News Sydney<\/em> at the start of camp, Leniu explained any potential dramas between the pair had already been resolved as they prepare to take on the Maroons.<\/p>\n

"Me and Latrell are all good," he said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

"He pulled me aside and spoke to me yesterday and that shows how good of a person he is. He pulled me aside and let me know to put our differences aside and rip in.<\/p>\n

"He has my back and I have his and [we will] give it to some Queenslanders. It gave me a lot of confidence and relief that we're all good.<\/p>\n

"As soon as I cross this white line, if you're beside me, I will protect you until we're finished. Latrell is gonna be beside me … I will have his back."<\/p>\n

Leniu served an eight-game suspension for the incident in Las Vegas, before returning to club football with the Tricolours and forcing his way into Michael Maguire's side.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old was among the Blues' best in the 38-10 defeat at Accor Stadium and Leniu believes his initial experience should hold him in good stead in game two.<\/p>\n

\"Try<\/p>\n

"You dream about those moments," he said.<\/p>\n

"I was just trying to keep my emotions in check while I was out there.<\/p>\n

"Before, we had to build relationships, but all those relationships are built now and we can just rip into training and not step on each other's toes."<\/p>\n

Leniu has again been selected on the bench for NSW, with the likes of Mitchell and Cameron Murray among the changes to Maguire's lineup. \ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
