The battle for a place in the Queensland State of Origin team will come down to a Magic Round shootout for Maroons contenders this weekend.
The likes of Reece Walsh and Cooper Bai have one last chance to impress Billy Slater before the Queensland coach names his side for the series opener on Wednesday May 27 at Accor Stadium.
A host of positions remain up for grabs, with injuries putting a cloud over some incumbents while potential debutants have produced a form surge to rocket into contention.
The loss of Tom Dearden to an ankle injury opens the door for a new face or a returning veteran to partner Cam Munster in the halves, with Sam Walker and Daly Cherry-Evans among the contenders.
Munster finds his rhythm
North Queensland five-eighth Jake Clifford also shapes as a potential bolter and will go head-to-head with both Walker and Cherry-Evans when the Cowboys take on the Roosters on Saturday evening.
The fullback battle between Reece Walsh and Kalyn Ponga shapes as a fascinating call, while Dolphins back-rower Kulikefu Finefeuiaki has rocketed into frame for a Maroons debut.
The introduction of six-man benches poses a new wrinkle for Slater and NSW coach Laurie Daley to navigate, with the makeup of the interchange likely to play a key role in determining the winner of Game One at Accor Stadium.
Before Slater makes his final decision, it's time for the fans to put their selectors hat on and pick their Maroons team for the series opener.
