After losing three straight series to the Maroons it was no wonder that the Blues selectors went for youth over experience, preferring to select players almost exclusively on recent form.

Big games on the weekend seemed to tip the scales in favour of the likes of Canberra half back Terry Campese, St George forwards Michael Weyman, Justin Poore and Ben Kreagh along with Parramatta’s Jarrod Hayne all having blinders on the weekend to secure a spot.

Following a thrashing of the Warriors at the weekend in which Campese played a starring role, he beat out the likes of Newcastle Jarrod Mullen and Penrith’s Luke Lewis for the hotly contested spot.

Origin veteran Kurt Gidely was named as captain and full back after a stellar year so far for the Newcastle Knights.

He and Gold Coasts Luke Bailey will e the only two ‘experienced’ Origin players in the squad.

There were few if any surprises after Queensland released their squad which remained largely unchanged from last years triumphant Maroons outfits.

They are supremely confident of making it four in a row and it is difficult at this stage to find a book maker that thinks otherwise.
