THE Maroons finally received good news on Friday when Billy Slater confirmed he would start in the must-win Origin II on Wednesday.
Sunday is decision day for his two star teammates, Greg Inglis and Daly Cherry-Evans, who must complete an opposed session against the Queensland under-18 side in order to play in Game Two.

Slater trained strongly at Sanctuary Cove on Friday afternoon, running at fullback during set plays.
His injured shoulder was heavily strapped but did not prevent him from passing or catching high balls.
Inglis failed to train for the second consecutive day. He did light warm-up work but was unable to take part in set plays and spent the session hitting punching pads.
He was visibly frustrated when told he could not take part in the set-play moves. Melbourne centre Will Chambers ran in his centre spot.

Cherry-Evans was also unable to train but ran confidently along the sidelines as Ben Hunt remained at half-back.
Cherry-Evans is no longer wearing a knee brace while Inglis has ditched his moon boot.
It is becoming increasingly likely all three will play through the pain barrier for Queensland.
Willie Tonga was last night released from camp to fly back to Sydney in order to train with Parramatta for their Round 14 clash with Canterbury tomorrow but he will return to camp on Tuesday.

Melbourne expect a similar decision to be made on Chambers on Sunday before their game against the Gold Coast on Monday night.
"We expect to find out if he's in or out on Sunday," Storm football manager Frank Ponissi said.
Slater seemed comfortable at training yesterday although he is yet to attempt a tackle and may not even attempt one until the game.
The Maroons have a day off today before their most serious session of the preparation, the opposed run against the best teenagers in Queensland.
