Maroons Coach Billy Slater says Jojo Fifita has really developed over the last period, and that is not the highlight stuff, its more the preparation stuff, like his defence.
Slater says Fifita is only just scratching the surface of where he can go in his career and hopefully, they can help him get there in this Queensland jersey.
As a former series-winning Queensland Maroons centre, Josh Hannay knows what it takes to find success in the Origin arena.
That is why he has fully endorsed the selection of fresh face Fifita to make his debut in Game One of this year’s series.
As coach of the Gold Coast Titans, Josh Hannay has seen exactly what Fifita can bring to a team and having served as an assistant coach to Maroons mentor Billy Slater for the past few seasons, knows what he is looking for to support the balance of the team.
The Maroons take on the Blues in Game 1 of Origin 10.05pm Wednesday at Accor Stadium in Sydney.
