Gold Coast second-rower Bryce Cartwright is among three Titans players to have been stood down by the NRL for refusing to take the flu shot.
Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young made the announcement on Friday after discussions with the NRL over its controversial flu vaccination policy.
“I’ve had a discussion with (the NRL) this morning and they’ve stood down those three players at the moment, until we work through what it means,” Young said.
