Jacob Lillyman has been called into the Queensland State of Origin squad as an injury replacement for Nate Myles, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

The Warriors' prop was the 18th man for the Maroons' game one win last month and will make his 12th Origin appearance.

Myles injured his knee in Manly's loss to Penrith on Sunday and will not recover in time for next week's match.

He is the only change in the line-up for game two.

The first game saw Queensland win a tight match 6-4 at ANZ Stadium in Sydney. Game two will take place at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, next Wednesday, where the Maroons will look to clinch the series.

Queensland: Darius Boyd, Corey Oates, Greg Inglis, Justin O'Neill, Dane Gagai, Johnathan Thurston, Cooper Cronk, Matt Scott, Cameron Smith (c), Jacob Lillyman, Matt Gillett, Sam Thaiday, Corey Parker. Interchange: Michael Morgan, Josh McGuire, Aidan Guerra, Josh Papalii.
