Round 2 - FIGHT!

Queensland won the first game of the series by a whisker in a low scoring affair; this game is being tipped to provide much of the same.

In what is a huge plus for the Blues, their spiritual leader Paul Gallen returns; He will wear the #13 jumper forcing Josh Jackson to the bench which will in turn send Andrew Fifita back to club footy for the round. Robbie Farah has been given the all clear and the Morris twins reunite also - Tupou had to go to make way for brotherly love due to his incompetence.

Although seemingly out of favour at club level with the bulldogs and his lacklustre showing in Game 1, Trent Hodkinson has retained the #7 jersey.

Queensland have a largely unchanged team, save for the injured cooper Cooper Cronk. Daly Cherry-Evans comes in to the starting side with Michael Morgan filling the utility position.
