Maroons coach Billy Slater has named a 19-man squad for Game Two of the 2023 Ampol State of Origin series to be played in Brisbane on Wednesday, June 21. Having watched his side take the opening game of the 2023 series with a 26-18 victory in Adelaide, the Queensland coach has made a handful of changes for Origin II with Cowboys forward Jeremiah Nanai set to return to the fold. The 2022 Dally M Rookie of the Year missed the opening game due to suspension but returns to the side in place of Tom Gilbert, who underwent shoulder surgery following an incident in Game One – sidelining him for the rest of the year. Jai Arrow (ankle) and Selwyn Cobbo (hip pointer) are also out, with Titans prop Moeaki Fotuaika and Storm winger Xavier Coates called into the side. Fotuaika is joined in the squad by Titans teammate AJ Brimson, who will feature as 18th Man, with Tom Dearden returning to club commitments with the Cowboys, while Raiders prop Corey Horsburgh joins the side as 19th Man. For Coates, it will be his first Origin game since the opening match of the 2022 series in Sydney, where he was unfortunately ruled out with injury. Source: NRL.Com
