State of Origin teams for Game 1 of the 2024 series will be announced at the completion of Round 12, with plenty of spots up for grabs and injuries causing mayhem for both states.

Michael Maguire will go into his first Origin series as the Blues' boss without Nathan Cleary or Tom Trbojevic, while Queensland stalwart and star five-eighth Cameron Munster is also missing.

The injuries have mounted right across both sides too, with the likes of Cameron Murray and Tino Fa'asuamaleaui missing to headline a long list of forwards on the sidelines.

With all that in mind, and taking into account there is still a round of games to play before teams are named for the Origin opener, we asked our team at Zero Tackle - writers Dan Nichols, Ethan Lee Chalk and Alexander Stuart, as well as myself - who is going to be picked where for Game 1.

These were the answers.
