Queensland are out to avenge last year’s series loss but coach Billy Slater is expected to make minimum changes to his side.
However, Slater has already been forced into finding a replacement after Tom Gilbert – who was widely tipped to get selected – went down on Saturday.

Dolphins backrower Gilbert’s horror injury run continued when he suffered a pec injury against the Warriors that will almost certainly rule him out of the series.
That means Titans second rower Beau Fermor, Dragons star Jaydn Su’A or Warriors veteran Kurt Capewell will likely slot into the side.
It also means Bulldogs bolter Kurt Mann is now a huge chance of getting picked on the bench.
Rival halfbacks Daly Cherry-Evans and Tom Dearden squared off when the Cowboys hosted the Sea Eagles on Saturday night.
