Tarryn Aiken, a prominent player for the Harvey Norman Queensland Maroons, returns to the spotlight as she prepares for the NRLW State of Origin opener.
Aiken assured her coach, John Strange, that she was "fully fit" ahead of Thursday night's match.
Despite previous injury concerns reported by nrl.com.au, Strange, who successfully led the Sydney Roosters to a premiership victory last year, expressed confidence in Aiken's readiness.
Aiken remained positive, affirming that she had "no fitness concerns" before joining her team in camp for the highly anticipated Origin clash at Suncorp Stadium.
The two coaches agreed this would be their last discussion before the game, emphasizing the focus and preparation required for the matchup.
