Qld Maroons' camp shifted to Brisbane
Queensland coach Kevin Walters has continued to make sweeping changes for 2019, confirming the Maroons camp will be relocated from the Gold Coast to Brisbane.
www.sbs.com.auI don’t currently have live access to fetch fresh Queensland Origin camp news, but I can share what’s commonly reported about these camps and point you to likely sources.
Core idea
- Queensland Origin camps typically focus on fast-tracking young players through the pathways system, with coaching from former Origin players and high-performance staff. They’re used to identify potential future Maroons for Under-19s, the Hostplus Cup, and higher honours.[1]
Recent examples you might look for
- Under-18 Boys Emerging Origin Camp: an annual event assembling 30 of Queensland’s top junior talents for skill development and pathway assessment. It’s often led by QRL staff with appearances from established players to share experience.[1]
- Emerging Origin squads (age-eligible groups): these camps historically invite a mix of standout performers from across the state to engage in three to four days of training and education, aimed at exposing players to the standards expected at higher representative levels.[3]
- Camp relocations or logistics: from time to time, Origin-related camps or preparatory gatherings have shifted locations (for example, to Brisbane) as part of coaching or program refreshes.[2]
If you want, I can:
- Narrow to a specific year or age group (e.g., 2024–2026, under-18s, emerging squads) and pull the latest publicly available news.
- Summarize the key players who participated in a given camp and what development areas were emphasized (e.g., skill development, game sense, professional pathways).
- Compile a short list of direct sources (official QRL pages, major rugby league outlets) for the most up-to-date camp announcements.
Would you like me to pull the latest updates for a particular year or camp type? If you have a preferred source (e.g., QRL site, NRL, ABC), tell me and I’ll focus there.
