State of Origin. What a concept.

Mate vs mate. State vs state! The best of the best in front of the biggest crowds, in the biggest arenas, played before the biggest television audience.

The biggest snubs?

It sounds like a terrible reality TV show but boy howdy have their been some big name players overlooked in recent years.

Below we look at ten from recent seasons.

Of course this will depend on your interpretation of "snub" and "recent" but below are 10 players I can't believe weren't picked for an Origin series, or two.

Let us know in the comments of players you believed were unfairly overlooked for rep honours:

4. Ben Barba (2016)

Ben Barba was robbed of his spot in the 2016 Dally M team of the year despite polling higher than James Tedesco.

He was also robbed of an Origin jersey by Darius Boyd. Ok the QLD'ers won the series but Boyd, an Origin weapon on the wing, should have made way.

I know a lot will be lost to history due to Barba's off-field incidents since, but the Sharks don't get close to that 2016 title without their star fullback.

Barba was the best player on a team who won 15 straight games and the form fullback all season.
