Every year there is a hard luck story when it comes to missing Origin selection. 2020 looks like a year that will have multiple such hard luck stories.
This comes due to the absolutely emergence of incredible Origin-level talent combined with the fact that games will be played at the end of the season.
Below are 10 players who are eligible for Origin selection but will probably miss out.
Of course a lot can happen between now but looking at the quality of players listed below, I don't hold any fears that the standard of the series will drop off despite being played post finals.
8. Paul Vaughan
Vaughan is one of the competition's best big men. Unfortunately his Dragons side are not flying high right now which does take away slightly (rightly or wrongly) from his performances. He was huge for the Blues last year but right now I can't see anything other than a Klemmer/Saifiti starting pack with young giant Payne Haas returning to the Origin scene. If the Blues go with four props then Vaughan comes in.
