  1. State of Origin debutants: Dylan Napa will fill the hole left by Corey Parker in the Maroons team, while Bryce Cartwright will finally earn a sky-blue jersey after being overlooked in 2016.
  2. State of Origin Winners: New South Wales will claim the series with one of their most competitive rosters ever. James Maloney and Adam Reynolds will steer NSW to a 2-1 series win, ending Thurston’s Origin career with a rare series loss.

  3. Top Point Scorer: Jarrod Croker has this award on lockdown for the next few years, with Canberra’s strong attack resulting in a lot of points for the Canberra captain.
  4. Top Try-Scorer: Next season will see a tie in the top try scorer race, with both Alex Johnston and David Mead notch 22 tries each in the regular season.
  5. World Cup’s Biggest Movers: After a relatively strong Four Nations, Scotland will surprise many to finish second in their pool, above both Samoa and Tonga.
