Jarome Luai has declared he has unfinished business in NSW colours, with the Penrith five-eighth desperate to win his way back into the State of Origin side.
Axed after they went 2-0 down in the series last year, Luai is among a number of contenders to be picked alongside Nathan Cleary later this month.
Cody Walker was man of the match in Game III for the Blues, but South Sydney’s horror start is set to make him the first player in more than two decades to go from Origin MVP to axed.
Mitch Moses’ fitness is likely to leave him struggling to claim the No.6 jersey, while Nicho Hynes and Matt Burton are among other options.
