How this works

  • Every player's match is scored via a weighted blend of position-specific stats (tries, run metres, tackles, line breaks, try assists, offloads, etc.).
  • Ratings are z-scored within position group, then adjusted for minutes played, opponent strength and match result.
  • Only players currently in a NSW or Queensland Origin-eligible squad are considered. Eligibility is sourced from the QRL/NSWRL international pools and refreshed each round.
  • Recall = back from outside last week's 17. Debut = first selection this season. ★ SB = player's top-rated week so far. C = captain (top-rated starter). Gold/silver/bronze numerals mark the round's top three for the team.
  • Selections refresh automatically every Sunday at 8 PM AEST once each round's matches finish.
