Maroons coach Billy Slater has announced three debutants for the upcoming State of Origin Game One against the New South Wales Blues on May 28, 2025.
The players making their Origin debuts are Roosters centre Robert Toia, Titans back-rower Beau Fermor, and Storm edge forward Trent Loiero, as reported by melbournestorm.com.au.
All three athletes have been part of Queensland's emerging pathways squads and youth representative teams in recent years.
Toia, a standout at just 20 years old, has had a remarkable ascent since his NRL debut in the opening round of the 2025 season against the Broncos.
He has showcased impressive skill and strong defense throughout his 10 games with the Roosters.
These selections highlight the potential future of the Maroons, as Slater looks to build a competitive squad for the State of Origin series.
