Queensland is chasing a third-straight win in the annual representative fixture following last year’s 36-32 victory over NSW in which current NRL contracted players Kyle Feldt, Javid Bowen, Mitchell Frei, Ben Spina and Matt Parcell were all leading performers.

Ten Intrust Super Cup clubs have supplied one or more players to this year’s Queensland team.

The strong form of the Townsville & Districts Blackhawks and Redcliffe Dolphins has been recognised with three players from each club selected in Aaron Zimmerle’s team.
