We are entering the State of Origin period of the Australian rugby league season as selection rumours and debates continue to swirl.
While the NSW Blues are entering a new era under the guidance of head coach Michael Maguire, most of the players from last year's series defeat are still in the frame to earn another call-up.
As for the Queensland Maroons, they have stuck with Billy Slater at the helm, who is unlikely to make too many changes as they search for a third consecutive shield.
