QUEENSLAND State of Origin selectors have again overlooked Gold Coast captain Scott Prince for the return match against NSW.
The Maroons have made four changes to the 17 which lost 10-18 to Sydney last month for Game Two at Suncorp Stadium tomorrow week. Into the side come captain Darren Lockyer, veteran prop Steve Price, Titans utility Ashley Harrison and Broncos rookie Darius Boyd.
Out go centre Justin Hodges (suspended), prop Carl Webb and interchange players PJ Marsh and Jacob Lillyman.
Israel Folau goes from the wing to cover for Hodges in the centres while five-eighth Karmichael Hunt goes to the bench to makeway for Brocnos team-mate Lockyer.
The Maroons squad with age and Origin appearances:
Billy Slater (Storm) 24, 6
Darius Boyd (Broncos) 20, 0
Greg Inglis (Storm) 22, 5
Brent Tate (Warriors) 27, 13
Israel Folau (Storm) 19, 1
Darren Lockyer (Broncos) 31, 27
Johnathan Thurston (Cowboys) 10
Steve Price (Warriors) 34, 23
Cameron Smith (Storm) 24, 14
Petero Civoniceva (Panthers) 21
Michael Crocker (Storm) 27, 8
Sam Thaiday (Broncos) 22, 4
Dallas Johnson (Storm) 26, 7

Not much size on the bench, Q want to hope the Blues forwards dont get there roll on.

At least we know this time that Archer will let both teams lie all over the tackled player and jump from marker before the balls played.

I guess Queenslands plan will be to keep things up-tempo, dont find the lines to often with kicks, try to move Blues from side-line to side-line.

Bloody hell, the QLD selectors are f*cking stupid. Seriously, darious boyd, what the hell? I'm a broncos fan but im not a fan of boyd. He's too soft for origin & he sucks in defence. Also, Hunt should of been named fullback. Billys a great player but for origin i'd be more confident if hunt was at fullback.

One positive is that once Billy farks up you can bring Hunt on. Wouldn't surprise me to see Hunt start at FB and Slater on the bench come Wednesday!

No Scott Prince is a massive + for NSW.
They are putting massive weight on Lockyer for a guy thats struggling to play club games.
