Think State of Origin One was good?

Game Two's comin' next week, and it's going to be even better.

NSW shocked the rugby league world with an 18-10 upset over the highly favoured Queensland side, but Game Two moves to Suncorp stadium - which is a daunting task for any NSW team. It'll be filled to the brim with screaming Queenslanders, all hoping to see their team bounce back and square up the series 1-1.

Mel Maninga has made four changes to his side from Game One. Most importantly, he's brought back Darren Lockyer (Broncos) and Steve Price (Warriors), who were both injured for Game One. Also making his return to the grand stage is Titans star Ashley Harrison, who replaces Jacob Lillyman (Cowboys) on the bench.

The other new comer is Broncos winger Darius Boyd, making his debut on the wing. His selection is due to the 6 game suspension of Justin Hodges (Broncos), who took an early guilty plea for a dangerous tackle on 'Piggy' Riddell (Eels). New comers have an uncanny ability of scoring on debut in State of Origin - will Boyd continue the trend?

Carl Webb (Cowboys) and PJ Marsh (Broncos) have been dropped for Game Two, while Karmichael Hunt (Broncos) moves onto the bench to make way for Lockyer - who will also captain the side.

Jonathan Thurston (Cowboys) will need to up his game after a very disappointing opener, although having Lockyer back will certainly take some of the pressure off him, and allow him to play his natural game. If these two can get going, the NSW defence will be kept on its toes.

It's do or die for Queensland. If they win, they go to Game Three with a shot at the series. If not, it'll be a dead rubber.

No pressure.

Here's their lineup.

1. Billy Slater (Storm)
2. Greg Inglis (Storm)
3. Brent Tate (Warriors)
4. Israel Folau (Storm)
5. Darius Boyd (Broncos)
6. Darren Lockyer (captain, Broncos)
7. Jonathan Thurston (Cowboys)
8. Petro Civoniceva (Panthers)
9. Cameron Smith (Storm)
10. Steve Price (Warriors)
11. Michael Crocker (Strom)
12. Sam Thaiday (Broncos)
13. Dallas Johnson (Storm)

Interchange: Karmichael Hunt (Broncos), Ben Hannant (Broncos), Ashley Harrison (Titans), Nate Myles (Roosters).

NSW have made two changes to the side that won in Sydney. Steve Simpson and Kurt Gidley (both Knights) have been brought in to replace Ben Cross (broken thumb) and Ben Hornby. Both Simpson and Gidley were unavailable for Game One due to injury, and while both have had limited game time in the NRL coach Craig Bellamy has had no hesitation in selecting them for Game Two.

Gidley makes an excellent interchange player, and will be devastating in the back-end of the second half.

Mark Gasnier (Dragons) has been cleared after the knee issues he's suffered since Game One - good news, we think. Watching him carve up in Game One was something special, and we wouldn't mind a bit more of it...

Jarryd Hayne (Eels) has been charged with a grade-2 dangerous tackle, and is out. Steve Turner (Storm) gets the nod ahead of Joel Monaghan (Raiders), who, to be honest, we'd have preferred.

Why?

The coach of the Blues is from Melbourne. Both wingers are from Melbourne. Enough said.

Otherwise, though, it's the same lineup. They'll need to bring their A game to Suncorp, and it won't be an easy task.

Here's their lineup.

1. Brett Stewart (Sea Eagles)
2. Steve Turner (Storm)
3. Matt Cooper (Dragons)
4. Mark Gasnier (Dragons)
5. Anthony Quinn (Storm)
6. Greg Bird (Sharks)
7. Peter Wallace (Broncos)
8. Craig Fitzgibbon (Roosters)
9. Danny Buderous (captain, Knights)
10. Brent White (Storm)
11. Willie Mason (Roosters)
12. Ryan Hoffman (Storm)
13. Paul Gallen (Sharks)

Interchange: Kurt Gidley (Knights), Steve Simpson (Knights), Anthony Tupou (Roosters), Anthony Laffranchi (Titans).

Despite losing the first game, it's hard to look past the Queenslanders as favourites for Game Two. Having Lockyer and Price back in the mix is a huge bonus, and if Lockyer can pull out a performance like the one against the Eels in the weekend, they'll be tough to beat - especially at Suncorp.

But - remember Game One?

Don't write the boys from NSW off just yet...
