NRL: Valentine Holmes is desperate to repay Maroons coach Billy Slater for his spot in the QLD team despite the Cowboys' lack of form.
Maroons fullback Reece Walsh is keen to do battle again with Blues five-eighth Jarome Luai following the pair’s double send off the last time the two players met in the Origin arena.
Things became far more heated in Game II, with the two coming face-to-face in the dying minutes, which started an all-in fracas and Luai headbutting Walsh. Walsh missed Game III of last year’s series due after he was suspended for swearing at a referee during a Broncos game, while the Blues dropped Luai for the dead rubber.“Luai, yeah, it’s exciting. It’s going to be good,” Walsh said.
“It’s just passion, pride in your state, pride for your teammates and the people you are doing it for.
