Now that the NRL is well and truly underway I think it is only right to touch on the upcoming State of Origin series. Both sides will be looking to name their strongest sides possible with coaches having a few headaches with ongoing injuries and suspensions. With Freddy Filter most likely going to stay loyal to his 2021 team I think it will be a very familiar Blues squad. Then with Slater at the helm for the Maroons. He's already said that no one is a lock, so expect a new look Maroons team for Game One.
So in today’s write up I will run through my State of Origin Game One lineups, and touch on all my ins and outs for the opener.
