Pat Carrigan was a select member of coach Billy Slater's first State of Origin series-winning Queensland squad in 2022 and he's ready to repay another vote of confidence in his first match in 38 days.
When middle forward Carrigan, who played in the series opener, had ankle surgery after Brisbane's round-13 loss to St George Illawarra, he was expected to miss the rest of the Origin series but he's back for the decider on July 8 at Suncorp Stadium.
