This article shows the players that have played been selected by the Queensland Rugby League (QRL) for the Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS) Emerging Origin squad. The squad meets for a weekend camp, usually held in January, run by the current Queensland State of Origin coach.

In earlier years, a player could be named in the next season's squad, despite already making their State of Origin debut. Since 2010, once a player has represented Queensland, they are deemed to have "graduated" from the squad and are not selected again. Since 2001, 66 players who have participated in the program have been selected to play for Queensland in State of Origin.[1][2][3]

2001

The inaugural Emerging Origin squad featured one player who had previously represented Queensland (Stuart Kelly in 1997), while Michael Ryan and Michael Luck were the only players in the squad who wouldn't play State of Origin during their careers. Two members, Chris Beattie and Nathan Fien, played for Queensland in the 2001 series. [1]

Justin Hodges made his debut for Queensland in the 2002 series.[1]

The 2004 squad featured seven players who had previously represented Queensland, while five members of the squad would make their State of Origin debut later that year. Brent Webb, Brett Seymour, Jaiman Lowe and Michael Witt were the only players who would not go onto represent Queensland during their careers. Webb, a Cairns Kangaroos junior playing for the New Zealand Warriors, would represent New Zealand later in the year under residency grounds, thus making him ineligible to play for Queensland.[4]
