Mystery still surrounds Queensland’s line-up after assistant Justin Hodges refused to confirm their starting side for Wednesday night’s State of Origin series decider in Sydney.
But Hodges did reveal the Maroons were confident of avenging their 38-6 game two loss, pointing to their superior record in deciders.
Hodges claimed just hours before kick-off that he had no idea what line-up would run out at ANZ Stadium after the loss of veteran back-rower Matt Gillett with a groin strain.
Teenager David Fifita has been tipped to be promoted to the starting back row with interchange utility Moses Mbye swapping with centre Michael Morgan and Ethan Lowe to make his debut off the bench.
