State of Origin selections begin post-Magic Round, featuring six-man benches and player camps before Game 1 on May 27.
The State of Origin series is almost upon us, with teams to be selected after Magic Round and players to then enter a ten-day camp ahead of Game 1 in Sydney on May 27.
With six-man benches to be used in Origin for the first time, and a general speeding up of the game, as well as injuries playing their part in pre-selection debates, options are many and varied for who each team will pick.
We asked our team here at Zero Tackle to come up with their 19-man squads for each state, and this is what they came up with.
