Billy Slater is confident in his decision to bring Josh Papalii out of Origin retirement, believing he can inspire the Queensland team in a crucial decider.
Slater remarked, "He's got an aura about him," emphasizing Papalii's lasting passion for the team.
The report highlights that Papalii last played for the Maroons during Game Three of the 2022 series, which Queensland won 2-1 in Slater's first year as coach.
With the series at stake in Sydney and the team needing additional motivation despite a historic victory in Game Two, Slater is pleased that Papalii feels he has "unfinished business" to address.
