We all know that teams are more than a collection of individuals, especially when it comes to the biggest rivalry in Australian sport. It would be the height of stupidity to assume the winner by comparing each other position

Unless Queensland thawed Billy Slater 2015 in the locker room, this was always going to be highlighted in blue

Brimson is a tall young player with dangerous speed and multiple dimensions to his offense, but the NRL’s top fullback wears blue and if he’s close to his best, Tedesco will be the man of the match.

I’m not a fan of the Tupou squad, although he is one of the best try-scorers in the competition, he showed little to no passion for NSW when he debuted in 2015

Coates is one of the best aerial attacks in the competition and is always an opportunity to try to score with the ball in the air.Despite the downsides, I expect Tupou to do his job and be a key element of the attack

Look, did I highlight Brenko Lee just because he was one of the few players I could chat about on their NSW counterpart? Yes, but listen to me

Of course Gutho is the best player and he will be great, but how he will play in crosses is unknown

Lee, meanwhile, just won the PM post as Melbourne center-right We know what Brenko Lee is, we don’t know what King Gutho will be

Gagai’s good play usually rises again during Origin, but he’s slightly defensive and is best suited on the wing

Wighton was formidable last year and is a tall, strong runner who can kick like a five-eighth Dally M-winner

Sami has had a great season, scoring seven tries in 13 games and is one of the few players who can catch Fox, but it’s not Addo-Carr

If I was going to sign a five-eighth in the league, it would be Munster or Wighton

While Keary has the best kicking game, he’s a defensive passive Munster can’t lead a squad like Keary can, but he doesn’t have to with Daly Cherry-Evans by his side Munster is the most complete player

At his best, Cherry-Evans may be the better half of the game, but this season he failed to catch the hand of a drowning Manly side as the Sea’s sub-par season Eagles don’t just rest on his shoulders, DCE was far from his best

The opposite can be said for Cleary Leading the Minor Premiers to 17 straight wins and a grand final, Cleary had a spectacular season, ending as Dally M half-back of the year

A strong argument could be made for Saifiti, but having not seen him for six weeks and with Welch’s great final performance, Welch had to be the choice

Both will do their jobs, although Welch will play more minutes while Saifiti is expected to play faster in a shorter stint. Welch is a great player and I expect him to stand out

Queensland should have selected Harry Grant They have chosen a young team that they can develop for the future while competing and the selection of Friend doesn’t seem to fit That said, Friend will make around 60 tackles and give the brown pullover that he needs for so long

However, Cook is one of the best players in the NRL and has the ability to open a game when it looks like nothing is happening Cook adds another step to the NSW attack that Queensland did not

Josh Papalii is the best prop in the game As simple as that He has the ability to open a match with incredible run and unload, while his consistency and effort through his strikes make him stand out It doesn’t stop

It is not a reflection on Paulo that it was such a clear choice, he has just had an excellent year He was 13th in meters of race, behind only three other attackers, first in unloads, and one of Parramatta’s best in the 22 matches he has played

Whether it was from his repeated concussions or the wear and tear of a great career, Cordner just wasn’t the same this season, often looking tired. Despite this, he will give his all, taking all the tough races and putting his body on the line, while being a test hazard near the line

Kaufusi, on the other hand, looks just as fresh in the first as it does in the 80th. All you expect from a second rower is what you get from him

It could be Frizell vs Gorden Tallis or Steve Menzies and I would choose Frizell I love him

One of the best ball runners in the NRL, Frizell has been outstanding in every Origin game he has played Always a danger to the defense close to the line, Frizell more than deserved his selection

For a game here and there, Hess seemed like he could be anything A big body with damaging run, he’ll make it difficult for the defending Blues halves if he’s on his game, but it’s is a big if

When I mention that the players get the job done, no player is more reliable than Trbojevic He would do whatever he was asked to do

One of the best defensemen in the competition and capable of giving 80 minutes, Trbojevic makes 45 tackles and misses none A sub-par regular season (by the standard he set) does not affect performance. my whole take on him and I would bet he was one of the first chosen

Fa’asuamaleaui is a formidable young prospect and has looked good in his 40 minutes per game. With an average of 23 tackles and 135 yards in 40 minutes, Fa’asuamaleaui is a star of the future and if they want to win he will be the key

While Collins will do his job and make a strong impact in what will be a tired team, Haas is the better player

A tough decision, but in the position they’re off the bench, Murray’s speed and ball play will either break up a close game against a tiring Queensland or give the tiring Blues the spark they are need

The speed and footwork that Crichton provides off the bench slightly outweighs the spark that Su’A’s tough runs and good tackles will provide.This battle depends on what position the teams are in when they are coming It could go both ways

Damien Cook of the NSW Blues scored the State of Origin 1, 2020 game opener in the 16th minute of the game

The State of Origin teams for the first game of the 2020 series have been officially confirmed by the Blues and the Maroons

Home state is upon us for another year, with the NSW Blues taking on the Queensland Maroons in the 2020 Series opener at Adelaide Oval If you want to watch a live broadcast of the Big Game or catch it on TV, here’s all the information you need to know

Queensland Maroons face NSW Blues in State of Origin opener at Adelaide Oval If you’re looking to watch the game from overseas, here’s all the info you need to see the action live

If I had a profile as a writer I would fear Wayne Bennett would put this article in the locker room and use it to inspire his Queensland motley to victory

State of Origin 2020 series game has an official kick-off time But let’s be honest, we all know the game between the NSW Blues and the Queensland Maroons won’t start on time
