Munster Inspires Maroons Ahead of Origin Decider

Queensland Maroons captain Cameron Munster will play in the State of Origin decider in Sydney just days after his father's death, inspiring his teammates and the wider rugby league community. Munster briefly left the camp to grieve but remains determined to lead, with support from coach Billy Slater and fellow players. Teammates, including Harry Grant, have pledged to honor Munster's resilience through their performance. The Blues have also recognized Munster's extraordinary mental strength. The Maroons are aiming to make history by winning consecutive away games after losing the series opener, a feat not accomplished in 45 years. This emotionally charged context has set the stage for one of the most significant Origin deciders in recent memory.
