Five burning questions facing Maroons ahead of Game I. Ben Hunt has been named in the No.9 jersey, but mystery surrounds who will start the game at hooker. Wakefield (1383)
Panthers (1695) 11. The Maroons have so much versatility in their side, it will come down to the balance they look to strike with the starting pack and the make-up of their bench.

Penrith halfback Nathan Cleary has done enough to hold on to his NSW State of Origin jersey while the Blues will blood five debutants for the opening match of the 2019 series. That said, Nathan Cleary isn’t playing to his best (.118 in 2017 compared to .104 in 2019), let alone what I would have expected an Origin calibre half to be generating. 7. Asking too much of teen freak?

Much of the Maroons success over the last 13 years has been down to Slater’s leadership and direction from the back in both attack and defence. The Manly halfback is also coming in off a limited preparation, after spending the past five weeks on the sidelines recovering from an ankle injury.
If they can do it, then Queensland has enough to match it with the New South Wales line up on every other part of the park. 10.
The 23-year-old Ofahengaue has played 80 games in the top grade, while Fifita has just 21 games of first-grade experience to his name.

Through the first eleven rounds of 2019, here’s how both sides stack up: In stark contrast to last year, where the Blues’ superior pack was obvious before the first hit-up, the teams are very well matched by the production we expect out of these players. Andrew McCullough (.074) is injured and his replacements at the Broncos, Jake Turpin and James Segeyaro, are not experienced enough in Turpin’s case and barely played any first grade in Segeyaro’s case.
