My Qld team for game 2:
In: Slater to fullback. Holmes on the wing for x factor. Thurston to 5/8. Wallace into front row, he has earned ir on back of good club form this year. Gav Cooper into 2nd row to shore up the edge defence. Hess and Korbin Sims to bench to add size and aggression. 4 debutants bit all in Emerging camps last couple years.
Move: Boyd to centre to accommodate Billy. Papalii to bench.
Gone: Myles, Chambers, O'Neill, Milford, Guerra, Lillyman. Of those names only Milford should feel harshly done by, he was solid in defence and had a couple of nice runs that kept the Blues guessing.
