Queensland Team Announced for 2024 State of Origin Series
Get Ready for a Thrilling Opener at Accor Stadium
Maroons Aim to Continue Dominance as Blues Look to Make a Statement
In a series that has been dominated by the Queensland Blues over the past few years, the stage is set for another thrilling opener at Accor Stadium on Monday, May 27, 2024. With the Blues aiming to make a statement and the Maroons looking to continue their recent dominance, the first match of the 2024 State of Origin series promises to be a gripping contest.
The Queensland Maroons have announced their team for Game I, boasting a strong lineup that includes some of the NRL's best players. Led by veteran Cameron Munster, the Maroons will be looking to maintain their impressive record at Accor Stadium, where they have won 20 out of 31 matches against the Blues.
The New South Wales Blues have also named their team for the series opener, with a number of notable changes from last year. In a surprise move, Michael Maguire has opted to drop retired star Latrell Mitchell for young gun Taylan May, raising questions about the Blues' attacking potential.
One of the key talking points in the lead-up to the match has been the omission of Broncos star Selwyn Cobbo from the Queensland squad. Cobbo has been in excellent form for Brisbane this season, but Maguire has opted for experience in his backline, selecting Corey Oates instead.
With both teams desperate to make a strong start to the series, the atmosphere at Accor Stadium is expected to be electric. The match will be broadcast live and free on Nine and 9Now, so make sure you tune in for what promises to be a pulsating encounter.
