The blokes at Foxsports have put together future origin teams for NSW and QLD based on players under 24. The NSW team looks head and shoulders above the QLD team. Hopefully NSW can lean on the Trbojevic brothers to create their own Dynasty.

Future State of Origin: NSW v QLD picked from NRL players yet to reach their 24th birthday
STATE OF ORIGIN
The next generation for NSW and Queensland.Source: FOX SPORTS
BRAD Fittler has wasted no time in planning for a future NSW side, naming a 38-man Emerging Blues squad just a month into his tenure as his state’s head coach.
And with Queensland’s generation of champions starting to reach their mid-30s, there’s no better time to look the battles to come when Cameron Smith no longer leads the Maroons out.
That may be a couple of years away yet, but the Blues need something to hang their hat on and it might as well start here.

Using the criteria that no player is eligible for either state if they have turned 24 at the time this story is published, foxsports.com.au has picked two Origin sides of the future.
Wearing the NSW selector’s hat and making the case for an upcoming era of Blues dominance is Ben Glover.
Across the Tweed, Tony Webeck runs the rule over Queensland’s rising stars, picking the Maroons side to continue a dynasty that has reached 12 years and counting.
