Every year there is a hard luck story when it comes to missing Origin selection. 2020 looks like a year that will have multiple such hard luck stories.

This comes due to the absolutely emergence of incredible Origin-level talent combined with the fact that games will be played at the end of the season.

Below are 10 players who are eligible for Origin selection but will probably miss out.

Of course a lot can happen between now but looking at the quality of players listed below, I don't hold any fears that the standard of the series will drop off despite being played post finals.

9. Nick Cotric

Much like Mansour, Cotric is an in form winger with Origin experience. I have him number four right now behind Addo Carr, Ferguson and Morris. Cotric probably hasn't had the influence in 2020 he would have hoped but he has done everything right. Neck and neck with Mansour as number four right now, I have Cotric shading it due to his aerial ability and the fact he was first choice winger prior to injury recently.
