Aaron Woods claims Billy Slater revived Josh Papali'i's career to boost Maroons' intimidation ahead of Origin.
Queensland antagonist Aaron Woods has poked the State of Origin bear, claiming coach Billy Slater reignited Josh Papali'i's representative career because the Maroons were "lacking a bit of intimidation".
Papali'i shock return to the Origin arena was made official on Monday morning when Slater announced the Canberra Raiders veteran in his side for the decider in Sydney next week.
The Raiders' games record holder has been granted a delayed entry to Origin camp to spend more time at home with his family after wife Mesepa gave birth on the weekend during the Raiders' match against the Knights.
