Daley made a last-minute appeal to recruit Luai for Origin II, demonstrating his confidence in Luai's abilities.
As Luai left the training field at Concord, he received a phone call from Daley, who was eager to bring him on board.
Following this, Luai joined the NSW squad in the Blue Mountains for preparation.
He is set to participate in his first practice session with teammate Cleary this Saturday.
Both players will then head to Perth for the highly anticipated match against Queensland, scheduled for next Wednesday night at Optus Stadium.
Luai's inclusion reflects Daley's trust in his potential to contribute significantly to the team.
