How every NRL team will be impacted by State of Origin

With 17 teams, byes every week and a season where more games need to be played, the impacts of State of Origin will be as big as they have been in 2023 since prior to the Gold Coast Titans joining the competition.

In previous years, every team would play only one game prior to a State of Origin game and without stars.

That has gone out the back window in 2023 though, with no week off before Origin 2, and more than half of the competition playing prior to each Origin game.

The Origin period stretches from Round 13 to Round 20 as follows:

Round 13: Before Origin 1 - Origin players not allowed to play.
Round 14: After Origin 1 - Origin players backing up.
Round 15: Normal round.
Round 16: Before Origin 2 - Origin players not allowed to play.
Round 17: After Origin 2 - Origin players backing up.
Round 18: Normal round.
Round 19: Before Origin 3 - Origin players not allowed to play.
Round 20: After Origin 3 - Origin players backing up.

Following the announcement of both squads on Monday morning, here is how your team will be impacted by the State of Origin window.

Parramatta Eels

Current ladder position: 13th, 10 points, + 44
Players selected: Junior Paulo
Origin period fixtures: Round 13: vs Cowboys (h), Round 14: Bye, Round 15: vs Bulldogs (a), Round 16: vs Sea Eagles (h), Round 17: vs Dolphins (a - Sunshine Coast), Round 18: vs Bye, Round 19: vs Warriors (h), Round 20: vs Titans (h)

The Eels have paid for their average start to the season without only a single representative making the Origin cut in Junior Paulo. Given Reagan Campbell-Gillard is currently out injured though, it's a big blow for the men in blue and gold.

They will take on the Cowboys, Sea Eagles and Warriors prior to the three Origin games, being forced to play on all three occasions without Paulo and any other players who might make the cut.

They do have a pair of byes, but one is in a full round between Games 2 and 3, with the other in Round 14 after Game 1.

Their other two games backing up are away to the Dolphins on the Sunshine Coast (Saturday afternoon) after Game 2, and at home against the Titans in the final game of Round 20.
