Message: [QUOTE="Santa, post: 3629885, member: 11237"] [I]Slater’s first question when he fronted the press on Monday was about Fifita and the Melbourne Storm icon dropped a truth bomb on the axed Titan. “This team doesn’t get selected over the last 24 hours, it’s a collection of habits over the course of the year and what players have done in the past,” Slater said. “I wouldn’t say comfortable, that’s not what I feel right now.” Slater went on to say: “Dave created a really high standard for his footy last year. He just hasn’t quite got to that standard this year.” Slater also eluded to a classy text message he received from Fifita after he personally delivered the news that he’d been overlooked entirely. “I spoke to Dave last night. He’s taken the disappointing news like a true Queenslander,” Slater said. “He wished the best for the footy team. He further re-iterated that with a text message afterwards. “I’ve got no doubt that David will get back to the footy that he did last year and will wear a Maroons jersey in the future again.” [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/queensland-coach-billy-slater-confirms-selection-bombshells/news-story/8c5e6c1909ac45f5127f31f71be48b03[/URL][/I] [/QUOTE]
