Many of the players in Wednesday night's State of Origin match have been chosen more on memory than merit.The Queensland team is, perhaps, the most out-of-form Maroons team ever selected, while the Blues also have players in key positions whose past deeds eclipse their present play.Most of the NSW forwards deserve their place, suggesting they should dominate the Queensland pack.An indication of the strength of the Blues forwards is that two in-form Dragons – Paul Vaughan and Jack de Belin – were not selected.Vaughan is a strong runner, with the occasional defensive error, while de Belin is in his best form, breaking the line and capable of creative play.Prop Aaron Woods is big and while he seems to have been hollowed out by the contract dramas at Wests Tigers, any loss of punch in the Blues front row has been compensated by the form of Andrew Fifita.Fifita now knows he has earned his intimidating reputation by the hard-to-achieve mix of fearlessness and flamboyance, not by demeaningly tapping opposition players on the head. The Queensland Maroons and NSW Blues have named their State of Origin teams for Game 3 of the 2017 series, which is very much alive after the Maroons' comeback in Game 2.

The 2017 State of Origin teams as selected by the AFL Media newsroom. (AAP) Map: Brisbane 4000. As for the rest of the Maroons forwards, only Josh Papalii has the speed and menace of the Blues.Papalii will play bodyguard for the targeted Anthony Milford on Queensland's left side, with the five-eighth standing between the Canberra monster and the Storm's Will Chambers.Milford has not played well for 18 months and he will feel like he is on the nearby freeway at rush hour without a car.Chambers is usually right-centre for the Storm but is capable of playing on the left, as he did for Australia against New Zealand in the Anzac Test. By Roy Masters. When coaches put players there to fill in at training, it's not long before the complaints about aching hamstrings and sore bums and backs can be heard.Queensland, however, has the world's best player, Cameron Smith, in this position.While most of the Queensland pack have been chosen on past efforts, Smith's skill goes a long way to compensate for the below-par club form of Nate Myles, Aiden Guerra and Jacob Lillyman. He will be marking his co-centre from that game, NSW's Josh Dugan.The other side of the field offers an interesting duel between a flighty centre and a past champion with only recent experience in the position.Queensland's right centre, Justin O'Neill, is erratic and easily discouraged, while the stellar efforts of his opposite, Jarryd Hayne – where he single-handedly turned a game into a magnificent mess, improvising from fullback and wing – were years ago.Should Chambers make a mid-game switch to the other side of the field, a change he has made with the Storm, he could duplicate the domination of Hayne that he demonstrated in a recent Melbourne-Gold Coast match.O'Neill won't enjoy much assistance from Dane Gagai, if the Queensland winger's recent form for Newcastle against Penrith is any guide.But nor is the Blues' fullback, James Tedesco, playing well.Transporting him away from the fall-out of Wests Tigers' implosion, into a warmly familiar environment, may be what he needs.Given the doubts over his recent form and Bird's preferred role as starter, it may have been better to choose Penrith fullback Matt Moylan on the bench.Queensland's Darius Boyd is a great defensive fullback but if the Maroon forwards turn the ball over, Smith and his half, Cooper Cronk, will be troubled trying to replace panic with patience and score points.After all, the three players who have historically broken Blues hearts with a last minute try, the dream destroyers when NSW has been on the cusp of victory, are missing: Billy Slater, Johnathan Thurston and Greg Inglis.The best teams fix things when they are winning, not after they start to lose.Queensland has done this for 11 years and with two games at home, will hope to survive 2017 before an inevitable rebuild towards selection based on merit over memory.Roy Masters is a Sports Columnist for The Sydney Morning Herald.State of Origin 2017: Cracks in the formlines leaves both teams vulnerableHard reputation: Andrew Fifita is a destructive player.Cameron Smith gives Queensland the edge at dummy half.
