"As you can see it's a great team and the boys have been training together well particularly the halves combination of Jason Smith and Shaun Berrigan. I have appointed Robbie O as captain because his vast experience representative experience will help the younger blokes with their nerves. The QLD Origin selectors will be watching the game closely and I wish all of these guys the best of luck in gaining further representative honours."

11 of them played origin this year and or were selected but couldn't play. I'd say its pretty strong.
Maybe instead of Shane Walker, Chris Walker could be better and Steven Bell is in great form.
