I've been always a scapegoat and I don't want to go into this camp being a scapegoat. If you know, touch wood they lose, you know, so that was my biggest issue was that. But you know, I want to go into a camp and feel comfortable in my own skin and and actually, you know.

I fell out a little bit and I felt like, yeah, I'll just make sure that they know that I didn't put these weeks together to perform just to get myself back into an Origin.

And they turn into fans, my teammates, and that's what I want. I want to make them proud, make my state proud and that's what I want to do and make my family and and me. Michael Chamas 9 News.
