State of Origin is just around the corner and for the NSW Blues, there are a stack of injury concerns heading into the series opener on May 31st.
Jake Trbojevic, Reagan Campbell-Gillard, Josh Addo-Carr and Liam Martin headline a growing injury list for the Blues, with the selectors likely to call in multiple debutants.
For the Maroons, their list of absentees is much smaller and Billy Slater's side should be close to full-strength for the first game of the series, with Jeremiah Nanai the only major out due to suspension.

New South Wales have been hit with a stack of injuries throughout their potential lineup, with three incumbents from last year's series set to miss the opening game.
Jake Trbojevic and Reagan Campbell-Gillard will leave a hole in the Blues' middle-forward stocks, while the absence of Liam Martin has been compounded by Keaon Koloamatangi's ankle issue.
There is still some doubt surrounding Tom Trbojevic's fitness, but the star fullback is set to line up for Manly in Magic Round. Josh Addo-Carr will miss at least the first game, but could be back in time for Game II at Suncorp Stadium.
Bolters in the pack Spencer Leniu and Max King are both sidelined with minor injuries, but should be fit for the opening game for NSW.
QLD Maroons injury list
| PLAYER | INJURY | RETURN |
| Heilum Luki (Cowboys) | Hamstring | Round 10 |
| Jaydn Su'A (Dragons) | Shoulder | Round 10 |
| Corey Oates (Broncos) | Knee | Round 12 |
| Francis Molo (Dragons) | Suspension | Round 13 |
| Jeremiah Nanai (Cowboys) | Suspension | Round 14 |
| AJ Brimson (Titans) | Hamstring | Round 16 |
| Beau Fermor (Titans) | Knee | Season |
Queensland have been dealt just one major blow heading into the series opener on May 31st, with boom second-rower Jeremiah Nanai sidelined for a month due to suspension.
Jaydn Su'A and Heilum Luki will both be back on deck in Round 10 to push their case for selection, while Corey Oates has been hampered throughout 2023.
AJ Brimson is set to spend six weeks on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury, although it was unlikely that the Titans fullback was going to play in Game I for the Maroons.
