After a marathon meeting last night new Queensland Coach Paul Green has settled on his side to take on New South Wales in Game 1.
As expected, Reed Mahoney has been included to make his Queensland debut alongside Kyle Feldt. Selectors had a number of tough decisions to make with a host of injuries and suspensions to deal with.
Ben Hunt was overlooked for selection which will be one of the big talking points after last year’s miracle Queensland victory.
Instead of selecting the team by positions, the squad has been announced in alphabetical order as Queensland look to give injured players Cameron Munster, Kalyn Ponga and Harry Grant every chance to make the starting lineup.
There’s also the matter of the judiciary which could be a big problem for the Maroons with Felise Kaufusi needing to defend a tripping charge from the weekend’s NRL matches.

The Queensland team announcement comes after Brad Fittler named the New South Wales team last night. The team news was delayed after an injury to Tyson Frizell in Newcastle’s match against Manly.
