The NSWRL has revealed the roster for the Under 19s matchup against the Queensland Maroons in the upcoming State of Origin event.
This squad includes 20 of the nation's most promising players drawn from the NSW Cup, Jersey Flegg, and SG Ball competitions.
The squad is heavily influenced by the 2026 SG Ball champions, the Sydney Roosters, who contribute five players including the Player of the Year, Carter Mareko, along with teammates Rex Bassingthwaighte, Darcy Smith, Eddy Cayless, and James Finegan.
Additionally, Toby Winter and Diesel Hagan from the Newcastle Knights, who faced off against the Roosters in the SG Ball Grand Final, have also secured a spot.
Brothers Ashton and Onitoni Large will be part of the lineup, both of whom are impressive spine players making their way through the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles' system and are seen as future assets for the club.
The Blues aim to reclaim the shield after narrowly losing 23-22 last year on the Sunshine Coast.
Josh Jackson, a former NSW Blues representative, will guide the team as head coach for a second consecutive year.
The squad includes:
Rex Bassingthwaighte (Sydney Roosters)
Toby Batten (Redcliffe Dolphins)
Talmage Brown (Penrith Panthers)
