Former Queensland captain Cameron Smith has suggested NSW centre Matt Burton brought the fiery State of Origin fracas involving Maroons counterpart Dane Gagai on himself.
Burton and Gagai both escaped suspension after igniting an Origin series which had been timid and amicable until the 42nd minute of Wednesday's decider in Brisbane.
Gagai took exception to a shove on Maroons fullback Kalyn Ponga and squared up to Burton, unleashing a flurry of fists in a throwback to Origins of old.
