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.

3. One of Keary/Cleary/Moses

This is another I moved in and out numerous times. I'm not brave enough to make a call right now but one of these three players misses out. Right now I'd run with Keary and Moses but Clearly has looked very good since his return to the game and has Origin experience. Keary and Moses do not. It would be super risky blooding two new halves in the Origin arena for Game One. Either way, at least one of these three is going to miss out. Possibly even two.
