Jarome Luai wants to play against Canberra after his State of Origin appearance, aiming for top-eight contention.
Wests Tigers halfback Jarome Luai remains a strong chance of backing up just 48 hours after Wednesday's State of Origin match in Perth after he sent a message to coach Benji Marshall simply telling him to "put me in" for the game against Canberra.
Luai was a late inclusion for the Blues after Mitchell Moses went down at training last week, with the four-time premiership winner heading to Leura last Thursday and then flying out with his NSW teammates to the other side of the country.
He got through the 26-24 loss unscathed and avoided a ban for an alleged eye gouge and now wants to back up against Canberra as the Tigers look to stay in touch with the top eight.
