QUEENSLAND coach Kevin Walters admits that Daly Cherry-Evans will probably not be selected in the Australian team at the end of the season.
Walters ended the exile of Cherry-Evans this year, when he remembered the halfback on the side of the Maroons.
And while DCE will be in the race for the Kangaroos trip to New Zealand later this year, Walters thinks that national coach Mal Meninga will throw down his selection because Manly is not involved in the NRL finals.

"Maybe DCE will be there, I'm not saying that he would not do the jersey justice, but knowing how Mal thinks I think it's someone who plays the final," Walters said Triple M on Sunday.
Australia will tour New Zealand and Walters was asked who he believes will play in halves for green and gold.
NRL: Captain Sam Burgess from South Sydney has to sign a new long-term contract extension that will keep him for life on South Sydney.

He tips his Queensland superstar Cameron Munster and NSW veteran James Maloney to get the nod in Meninga's side.
He threw Maloney's Penrith team-mate Nathan Cleary as a godsend.
"Nathan Cleary will play in the final … Cameron Munster will probably be there," said Walters.
"I would go to Australia with Munster and Maloney, I think those two can do the job against New Zealand and Tonga.
"I think it will be someone from that final series."
