Maroons prop Mo Fotuaika has revealed how he had to cut short a 'babymoon' in Byron Bay after being recalled for Origin II.
Fotuaika, who made four Origin appearances for Queensland in 2020 and 2021, was enjoying time away with his pregnant partner, Vanessa Cox, during the Titans bye week when he received a phone call from Maroons coach Billy Slater.
Fotuaika, who has been one of the most consistent forwards for the Titans all season, was rewarded for his efforts when Slater chose him ahead of Raiders firebrand Corey Horsburgh, who is 19th man.
