NRL: The State of Origin has launched its campaign in city of Melbourne, with Billy Slater and Michael Maguire both speaking to media.

There’s just over a month until the State of Origin squads for Game I are announced and although there’s plenty yet to play out, the battle for positions is heating up.

To’o hasn’t featured heavily among the try scorers so far this season, crossing twice in just five games, but he’s been very solid and one of Penrith’s best in what has been an up-and-down start to 2024 for the defending champs. Addo-Carr has had a disrupted start to the year with a shoulder injury and concussion limiting him to just one full game. But in his first 80-minute performance, the star winger was arguably one of the best on the field, scoring a hat-trick, getting six linebreaks, nine tackle busts and 221 metres.

“I honestly believe he’s got all the attributes to be one of the best wingers in the comp,” Hunt told NRL.com. “Look what he’s done this year so far, compared to what he was doing last year in the centres and doing whatever he wasn’t doing,” Hindmarsh added.
