Greetings Origin fans
Feel free to add any comments at any time. I'll update the team lists if/when changes come through.
I can't imagine many of us would have predicted a QLD Origin centre pairing of Toia and Shibasaki at the beginning of the year.
All the best

I hope Shibasaki isn't a one season wonder. I love watching him play. Big , hard and fast.

@Esra Star
He's had a breakout season, and he's been a standout consistent performer for the Broncos. I'm no David Middleton, but I suspect he's the first grandson of a Japanese pearl diver to play State of Origin.
All the best
