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:

5. John Sutton (2012)

Sutton is another one you could have slapped the "many seasons" tag on but we'll sit in 2012 here.

Todd Carney, who was in ok form for the Sharks, played 5/8 beside Mitchell Pearce. He went ok but it felt like Sutton's time.

Sutton won the Bunnies best and fairest that season in a magical season.

The Blues would lose the decider by a point. Carney would miss seven tackles that night. Meanwhile Sutton was playing a few nights earlier and helping the Bunnies to a 38-12 win over Penrith.
