Greetings Origin fans

I think I've got all the team lists right for now. There will probably be some changes, and I'll update as quickly as I can.

All the best

As a Queenslander i am a little worried. That NSW team looks very good.

I think you're right. It's hard to see where QLD can find an edge, but I'm sure I'll go looking for it :-)

All the best
