Men’s State of Origin Game 2 2026 - The Blues Vs The Maroons - 8:05pm Wednesday 17th June - MCG

Casey McLean out. Wonder if sharpe gets the bench spot.

I think NSW will go with Tolutau Koula into the centre spot. Marky Mark to the wing. And yes, he’s there in camp so Sharpe comes in at 19.

 

[Seano]

Moving a centre to centre and replacing the winger with a ...winger ...seems logical, Frank, but this is loz, and I'm betting he plays Strange out of position at centre.

 

[frankLauda]

So Bostok got the jump over Sharpe for that 19 man bench spot. . Well at least he will be available for us.

 

[Mclovin]

He is playing pretty well, but he doesnt cover as many positions as Sharpe, Loz just doing his own thing again..

 

[Seano]

Other than Haumole not being on the bench, Loz has picked worse sides.*

Shame Nawaqanitawase is going back to Rugby, but I'm glad he's getting a run. Could be the X-Factor that wins it for the Blues.

* That's assuming Moses' hammy is ready to go.
