2024 State of Origin Teams Announced

The Kick It QLD Maroons have unveiled an inexperienced side compared to the Origin appearances of years gone by.

Stalwart Jesse Ripley is the only Maroon retained from last year's triumphant sweep of New South Wales at Carseldine.

The Maroons feature fresh faces from Toowong summer champions in Quinn Porceddu (c), AJ Tucker, Thomas Scott and Charlie Mills.

Forest Lake spring and summer champions Hot Sauce are well represented by Hayden Yusio and Zach Masterson making their first Origin appearance.

Long-standing Misfit and 2023 City Origin captain Henry Waller earns a promotion, together with City teammate and Mystics' middle Lochie Beetson.

Slap Happy's Keeley Richards and Multiple Scoregasms' Ivie Vallance are the new female additions with plenty of try scoring prowess.

The Queensland Origin kit features a predominantly white top with heritage white bands across the chest.

The white top design is a first for Kick It Queensland, usually exclusively maroon.

A special thank you to our Maroons sponsors the RE Hotel, Range Brewing and Summit.

The Kick It NSW Blues have named a balanced side with key experience and a number of fresh faces.

David Bath headlines the list of key inclusions as he moves into equal third for the Blues with his fourth Origin appearance.

Misfits captain Luke Sunkgar retains his spot, while Alexandria Craig returns after missing last year's match with a knee injury.

Dugongs Hunter Brown and Slap Happy's Andrew McGowan round off an experienced quintet.

Long serving Cattledog Zac Strickland makes his Blues debut along side Sneak Link's speedy Ben Slater.

Local partners Fitstop Toowong is well represented with Liesl Pederson and Vaughn Kelly named following positive summer seasons.

Fresh Forest Lakes faces in Ashleigh Adams and Crown Fitness' front man James Moller cap an exciting New South Wales outfit.

The Blues jersey design has kept with tradition, featuring a navy blue 'V and distinct sky blue body.

The addition of a edgy, modern pattern will ensure the Blues' pop on the field.

A big thank you to our Blues' partners LIVIN, Range Brewing and Summit.
