Maroons name team for Origin Game Two 2012

That was QLD Origin coach Mal Meninga at todays announcement of the Maroons team for Origin Game Two - on in Sydney next Wednesday.

The side remains unchanged from game one, the only difference coming outside of the 17; Brisbane Bronco Corey Parker being called in as 18th man.

He replaces Game One's Daly Cherry-Evans. When asked about it, Meninga said it was to cover for the possible loss of prop forward Matt Scott, who may sit out the game while he attends to a family illness.

In that case, the likely plan would see Nate Myles move from the second row in the front and Corey Parker start in the run on side.

The team for Game Two is:

#1 Billy Slater (Melbourne Storm)
#2 Darius Boyd (Newcastle Knights)
#3 Justin Hodges (Brisbane Broncos)
#4 Greg Inglis (South Sydney Rabbitohs)
