Queensland Maroons coach Billy Slater has maintained his composure following his team's defeat in State of Origin 1, making only one unforced change alongside two mandatory adjustments.
This upcoming match in Melbourne is crucial for the Queensland squad, and Slater is choosing to stick with a largely consistent lineup from their initial game in Sydney.
However, the question remains: has he made the right decisions?
Let's delve into the major talking points.

While the changes may not grab headlines, the inclusion of Reece Walsh and Murray Taulagi-two familiar faces in Origin-replacing Ezra Mam and the sidelined Gehamat Shibasaki could leave Queensland somewhat exposed.
Walsh is an established fullback, and even though one could argue his inclusion was warranted in Game 1, the Maroons already have Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, who is capable of playing at the back. Slater also made a mistake in that match by opting not to utilize Gehamat Shibasaki after the send-off.
By now adding both Walsh and Taulagi, who can occupy back five positions, they are taking a significant risk.
If either Cameron Munster or Sam Walker were to sustain an early injury, Queensland would need to move Kalyn Ponga-a player untested at halfback and with limited success at five-eighth-into the halves.
