[Unbreakable]

Nate Myles reportedly in a bit of doubt for this one.

 

[Super Freak]

Walters has pretty much confirmed that if Myles is fit, he will be sticking with the same 17 from Game 1.

If Myles is not fit, Jacob Lillyman and Gavin Cooper will be the front runners, but based on the fact that Cooper is not a prop, you would have to say that Lillyman will be selected given he was in the side last year.

One of the selectors has said that Cooper will likely not be picked.

So tomorrow the team sheet will be.

Lillyman deserves it just like Myles did in game 1.

No Myles, Lillyman takes his spot.

 

[Super Freak]

The Queensland Maroons have made one change for Game Two of Holden State of Origin at Suncorp Stadium with Nate Myles replaced by Warriors forward Jacob Lillyman.

Myles was ruled out of Game Two with a knee injury suffered during Manly's loss to Penrith at Brookvale Oval on Sunday afternoon.

"He had some scans earlier today and those scans showed some damage," Queensland coach Kevin Walters told QRL.com.au.

"Our doctor was of the belief that Nate won't be fit enough to take the field on Wednesday week, which is very sad news for Nate and the Queensland team. But it opens up an opportunity for Jacob to come in from the New Zealand team.

"He was 18th man in Game One and now he gets his opportunity to throw on that Maroons jumper and do it proud."

Queensland Maroons team:

Darius Boyd (Brisbane Broncos)
Corey Oates (Brisbane Broncos)
Greg Inglis (South Sydney Rabbitohs)
Justin O’Neill (North Queensland Cowboys)
Dane Gagai (Newcastle Knights)
Johnathan Thurston (North Queensland Cowboys)
Cooper Cronk (Melbourne Storm)
Matt Scott (North Queensland Cowboys)
Cameron Smith (c) (Melbourne Storm)
Matt Gillett (Brisbane Broncos)
Sam Thaiday (Brisbane Broncos)
Corey Parker (Brisbane Broncos)
Michael Morgan (North Queensland Cowboys)
Josh McGuire (Brisbane Broncos)
Aidan Guerra (Sydney Roosters)
Josh Papalii (Canberra Raiders)
Jacob Lillyman (Warriors)

They haven't named who will wear the 10 yet.

[Foordy]

so is McGuire likely to start then?

 

[Unbreakable]

My guess is that Thaiday starts at prop and Guerra starts on the left edge - Papalii, McGuire, Morgan, Lilyman on the bench.

My guess is that Thaiday starts at prop and Guerra starts on the left edge - Papalii, McGuire, Morgan, Lilyman on the bench.

Kevvie said Thaiday will be staying on the edge.

It's out of Josh and Jacob.. Possibly both Josh's if I heard him correctly.

 

[Super Freak]

Ben Cummins and Gerard Sutton will remain as refs for this game.

Daley is going to be pissed..

Ben Cummins and Gerard Sutton will remain as refs for this game.

Daley is going to be pissed..

He shouldn't be ... Those two refs ruled NSW way in the decisions he has a problem with ... It was the bunker that ruled correctly against NSW

 

[Unbreakable]

Wade Graham is in.

Wade Graham is in.

or maybe not.

 

[Super Freak]

The NSW Blues have named their side for Game Two of the Holden State of Origin Series at Suncorp Stadium.

Cronulla's Wade Graham has been named to replace the injured Boyd Cordner, while Bryce Cartwright and Jack Bird have been named as development players.

Graham has a nervous wait on his hands after he was put on report during the Sharks win over the Cowboys on Monday night for a tackle on Johnathan Thurston.

or maybe not.

I'll bet you any sum of money you want that he won't be suspended.

 

[Super Freak]

Graham won't be suspended.

I see NSW are still going to persist with Walker. Perhaps they will change it late and put Bird in there or Cartwright, but I doubt it.

 

[Broncoman]

Good stuff I rate Graham, he has been great for the Sharks for a while so it's good to see him get a shot. Would've ignored Walker and put Bird in but otherwise everything is good.

 

[Unbreakable]

Apparently Wade Graham had a Grade 2 high tackle in last years final series, so if it's a Grade 1 high tackle, he's out of Origin..

They'll let him off.
