Kevin Walters' side for tonight's Game One of the 2017 Holden State of Origin series.
Roosters prop Dylan Napa and Broncos five-eighth Anthony Milford have both been selected in the starting 17 for the match at Suncorp Stadium.
A member of the QAS Emerging Origin squad, Napa gets his opportunity to step up following Matt Scott’s season-ending knee injury.
With star playmaker Johnathan Thurston ruled out to a shoulder injury, Walters is backing Anthony Milford to step up at five-eighth.
