Newcastle Knights' official website, newcastleknights.com.au, has reported that Jacob Saifiti is set to make his State of Origin debut in a Game III decider at Suncorp Stadium.
Saifiti had spent the week in the NSW squad's State of Origin camp before returning to Newcastle, expecting to watch the game from home.
However, he received a shock call while at a recovery session in Newcastle, informing him that he was back in the team due to an injury to Blues forward Jordan McLean.
This unexpected opportunity allows Saifiti to fulfill a lifelong dream and face the challenge of playing in a crucial State of Origin match.
For more information and Saifiti's thoughts on his Origin experience, you can listen to the interview on the Newcastle Knights HQ Podcast linked above.
