David Fifita was a surprising exclusion from Billy Slater’s Queensland squad for the Game III decider at Suncorp Stadium.

“So I think there’s a little bit in that where he thinks maybe David hasn’t earned the right to wear the Queensland jersey this season.”
Demetriou thought it was a mistake not to include Fifita in the Queensland forward pack.
“Having someone like David coming off the bench would have been a massive ploy.”
