How a handshake may decide Slater's Maroons coaching future

Billy Slater has hinted at a potential future with the New South Wales Blues after stating he won't renew his contract as Queensland Maroons' State of Origin coach. Despite this announcement, Slater hasn't completely ruled out continuing in the coaching role. The potential shift could significantly impact the dynamics of State of Origin, a crucial rugby league series. This move matters because Slater's leadership has been pivotal in the Maroons' recent successes, and his departure could reshape the competitive landscape between the two teams.
