The Queensland Rugby League has announced the Queensland Maroons Under 19 men's squad ahead of their match against New South Wales at Sunshine Coast Stadium next Thursday.
The 20-player squad will gather for camp this Friday in Caloundra.
Head coach Darius Boyd will work alongside assistant coaches Andrew McCullough and Jesse Maclean to maximize the potential of these young players.
Significantly, the squad features three returning players from last year's representative clash: Cody Black, Zac Garton, and Sam Stephenson, whose experience is anticipated to be a major asset for the home team.
A passionate Queensland crowd is expected to support their team during this Origin Rookies clash, which will follow the Under 19 women's match between the two rivals.
