QLD team

[nodd]

XXXX QUEENSLAND Maroons selectors have gone for a largely unchanged side for Game II of the Harvey Norman State of Origin series, with Carl Webb's return from hamstring injury the only alteration from the victorious Game I side.


Webb, a late withdrawal from the 25-18 win in the series opener against New South Wales a fortnight ago, comes back in to the team in place of Antonio Kaufusi.

Kaufusi has been ruled out for the remainder of the Origin series and NRL season with a ruptured patella tendon.

The Queensland team heads to Telstra Stadium on Wednesday, June 13 having never won at the ground in 11 previous appearances.

The XXXX Maroons will be based predominantly at Terrigal on the New South Wales Central Coast in the lead-up to Game II

Why do they persist with Jacob Lillyman? He is a poor man's Dallas Johnson. I would have played Ben Ross.

 

[nodd]

Simple. He did the job for us in game 1.

Simple. He did the job for us in game 1.

Yeah but how many minutes did he actually play? Not many if I recall.

We don't just flick our players. bit of loyalty 😉

Good stuff, the most over rated 'enforcer' is back. Will be good seeing him get smashed
