Queensland Maroons coach Kevin Walters has named 20 of the most promising young players in the game to attend the Queensland Academy of Sport Emerging Origin camp in Brisbane later this month.
Storm sensation Cameron Munster, Bulldogs five-eighth Moses Mbye and Cowboys premiership winner Jake Granville are three of the 10 players to have been invited to the senior camp for the first time following standout performances in 2015.
The 20 players will spend three days in camp at the Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre from January 29 and be further indoctrinated in what it takes to represent Queensland at State of Origin level.
"Most of them have played some sort of junior rep football or they know each other, but it's nice to get them all together," Walters said.
"It's good for the coaches as well, and for myself personally to meet them all and see their different personalities and different traits because at the end of the day we'd like to see them come through and eventually play Origin."
