Suggestions that Carrigan and Nanai might start on the bench for QLD - Loiero in the starting thirteen at lock. Possibly Cotter and Capewell the starting backrowers.

Will update when confirmed.

All the best

Hi all, my state of origin predictions are game 2 are:

NSW 36 - Tries: D. Edwards, Z.Lomax, S. Crichton, S. Utoikamanu, N. Cleary and B. To’o
Conversions - N. Cleary 6/6

Qld 16 - Tries: C. Munster, H. Tabuai-Fidow and X.Coates
Conversions - V. Holmes 2/3

Best of luck with the origin game 2 next Wednesday night. Up the Blues let me wrap up this series. Let’s see if Queensland can have their origin spirit on full display it’s origin footy after all anything is possible it’s just Blues look the goods all over the park in my opinion.
Cheers!!!!
