Queensland has begun plotting its comeback on the Blues after they lost three of four major interstate representative series in 2022, with various camps and catch ups with selected players held last month.
Although Billy Slater enjoyed a stirring come-from-behind series victory in his State of Origin coaching debut with the men's team, the Maroons Harvey Norman women's side, as well both Queensland Under-19's teams, all went down to the Blues last year, with the younger age groups comprehensively beaten.
Queensland's women's side finished at the wrong end of a close match at Canberra's GIO Stadium in front of a record crowd last year and with two State of Origin games to take place this year, coach Tahnee Norris was keen to get on the front foot with her side’s preparations.
