Jocelyn Kelleher recently made headlines after being informed of her selection for an Origin debut in the upcoming series opener at Suncorp Stadium, which moved her to tears in the Show Bag Hall at Sydney's Easter Show.
Known for her versatility, Kelleher has played every position from fullback to front row in the NRLW.
Her selection indicates that Westpac NSW Blues Women's coach John Strange intends to utilize her in a utility role similar to that of Lauren Brown, who played for Queensland last year.
At 25, Kelleher's journey has been shaped under Strange's mentorship since her teenage years.
Despite her extensive experience, the anticipation surrounding her selection brought considerable nerves, making her emotional reaction to the news particularly poignant.
