NSW Blues coach Laurie Daley has announced changes to the team for Game Two of the Ampol State of Origin series set for June 18 at Optus Stadium in Perth.
The team, having won the opener, retains most of its lineup, with only one change to the 17-man side due to the injury of prop Mitch Barnett.
"Daley has made three changes to his 20-player squad," with Bulldogs prop Max King stepping up to the starting lineup after making his Origin debut in Brisbane.
He replaces Barnett, who suffered a season-ending ACL injury.
Storm frontrower Stefano Utoikamanu fills King's previous spot on the bench after being named in the extended squad for Game One.
Meanwhile, South Sydney outside back Campbell Graham is out due to back spasms, leading to Bulldogs five-eighth Matt Burton being named as the 18th man.
Additional players in the extended squad include Rabbitohs forward Keaon Koloamatangi and Panthers prop Lindsay Smith, who is yet to debut for NSW.
Manly's Haumole Olakau'atu has withdrawn from the team due to the impending birth of his second child.
