NSW playmaker Jarome Luai is ready to renew hostilities with Maroons superstar Reece Walsh after the duo were sent off in game two of last year’s State of Origin series and “grateful” for the faith shown by new coach Michael Maguire .
It was a wild finish to the game as Josh Addo-Carr was sent to the sin bin for throwing a punch before Walsh and Luai lashed out with their heads a few weeks after the Broncos fullback had pulled the Penrith star’s long mane of hair in the series opener.The three-time premiership winner called him “a bit weak” for the hair pull at the time, but Luai understands his role and knows he can’t afford to spend any time off the field as the Blues look to win back the shield.
“I wear this jersey with pride and I want to do everything I can to get the win, I’m playing for my family and everyone in NSW so that’s where my passion comes from.” Now that he’s got the chance to add to his seven Origin appearances, Luai doesn’t want to waste this opportunity.
