Josh Hannay is expecting his young squad to begin their Storm preparations with a pep in their step after last Thursday's Origin hit-out.
Full of energy after heading up to Camp Maroon on the Sunshine Coast, the Titans coach's attention now turns to their task against Melbourne on Sunday; but Billy Slater's former right hand man knows how much of a boost the experience has given his young side in the bye week.
"It's a privilege for us to be here and get the invite from Billy and the QRL to come up," Hannay said.
"We've got a number of young aspiring Queensland players like Cooper Bai and Bodhi Sharpley who have come through the Queensland pathways.
"They'll get a lot out of the session and we'll do our best to prepare the Maroons for Wednesday night."
The session is the first time the Titans have been given the chance to train against the Maroons in totality, having previously just sent players to camp to be part of the Origin preparations.
Jojo Fifita and Jayden Campbell were invited by Slater last year with the former now about to play in his third Origin - a crucial decider at Suncorp Stadium.
'It's a privilege for us to be here': Hannay
With Campbell also on the cusp of selection, so is young gun Cooper Bai who got his first taste of the pinnacle of rugby league as a highly-touted future Maroons lock.
"For Cooper, the world is at his feet," Hannay said.
"He's still only young at 19 years old, but I know wearing the Maroons jersey is important to him. It's something he's working every day to achieve one day.
"He's buzzing being around it and what it's like to be in Camp Maroon and it's wonderful exposure for our young aspiring Queensland players."
It was a nostalgic time for Hannay who reunited with many of his former Queensland colleagues after spending the previous four years as a Maroons assistant.
The now Titans mentor has thrown his full support behind Slater continuing his charter at the helm of the state he loves and played 31 games for, with speculation running rife of his future following the rejection of a new contract to instead do the job on a year-by-year arrangement.
"Selfishly, I do [hope Billy remains on as Maroons coach]," Hannay said.
"I think he's wonderful for this environment and we've seen the success he's had, the program he's built and the culture he's delivered.
"I personally would hate to see him leave this and I know a lot of people would, but Bill is his own person and he has a wonderful life balance but I also know he loves a challenge.
"Whatever decision he makes will be one that he's thought about a lot, but selfishly, I'd hate to see him walk away from this environment."
Several New South Wales-eligible players also assisted the Blues' preparations with Zane Harrison, Klese Haas and Chris Randall joining Laurie Daley's camp on Saturday.
