Aspiring Maroon Jack Howarth is currently honing his skills with guidance from his mentor, Billy Slater, during the Queensland camp.
Howarth, who has long been viewed as a future representative player, is not surprised by his selection into the Maroons extended squad.
His journey to this point has required significant patience, paralleling his rise as a promising player in the NRL.
Under Craig Bellamy at Melbourne, Howarth has experienced a 'tough love' approach, emphasizing the importance of mastering the fundamentals of the game while also drawing parallels between Slater's coaching style and Bellamy's.
