The Queensland Maroons have activated ‘Plan B’ in their quest to keep the 2017 State of Origin series alive, making seven changes to the side that was thrashed 28‑4 in Game One.

The injured Anthony Milford is out of the side, while Queensland veterans Aidan Guerra, Jacob Lillyman, Sam Thaiday and Nate Myles have all been axed from the forward pack.

Four Queenslanders will debut for the Maroons in Game Two, with Coen Hess, Tim Glasby, Jarrod Wallace and Valentine Holmes all set to pull on the famous jersey for the first time.

The Maroons will play the Blues next Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Manly Sea Eagles have agreed to grant an early release request received from Queensland and Australian representative Test prop forward Nate Myles who will be joining the Melbourne Storm. 

The Storm will take on the Cowboys at 7.30pm Saturday in round 15 of NRL.
