Reece Walsh was disappointed to miss out on Queensland selection, but the Brisbane fullback has also made an admission about why he was overlooked.
"I know the standards it takes to play for Queensland and I'm honest with myself. I probably haven't been living up to those standards," Walsh said.
"That's what makes it so great. Once you put that jersey on, you know what it takes to get back there.
"I'm a realist and I understand I haven't been upholding those standards, but it's about putting in the hard work at training and relaying that back onto the field.
"If I keep working hard in those areas, I'm sure the opportunity will come again."
Walsh, 23, missed out on Queensland selection in game one of the State of Origin series, with Kalyn Ponga preferred at fullback.
