A number of Blues players were fined after a brawl in Tumut over the weekend, but co-coach Adam Pearce is confident their full focus is on getting off to a strong start in round one.
"We probably had some of the best training on Tuesday night after the little incident," Pearce said.
"We spoke about it before training and everyone put it behind them and trained really well."

Lachlan Bristow is also in doubt but will be given until after Friday's training run to prove his fitness.
