Summary of State of Origin Game 1, QLD Maroons vs NSW Blues
The eagerly anticipated Game 1 of the 2025 State of Origin series is set to take place in Brisbane on Wednesday evening, featuring a matchup between the QLD Maroons and the NSW Blues.
This game is particularly significant for the NSW team, as they seek to secure consecutive victories at Suncorp Stadium-a feat not achieved since the mid-1990s.
After triumphing on Queensland's home ground last year, the Blues aim to capitalize on their momentum.
The QLD Maroons will see three debutantes stepping onto the field for their first Origin match: Robert Toia, Beau Fermor, and Trent Loiero, under the leadership of coach Billy Slater.
In contrast, the NSW Blues, guided by new coach Laurie Daley, will include only Max King as their debut player.
