Queensland legend Nate Myles has joined the Maroons camp as part of Paul Green’s coaching staff with captain Daly Cherry-Evans revealing the front-row great will provide a mental edge for the series opener next week.
Myles is one of Queensland’s most-capped forwards with 32 Origin appearances from 2006 to 2017 where he built a reputation as a player who always rose to another level of performance when he pulled on the maroon jersey.
Green has assembled his own who’s who of Queensland Origin greatness in his first year as coach including Johnathan Thurston, Allan Langer and Neil Henry in his bid to mastermind a series triumph after the Maroons’ shock series win in 2020 under Wayne Bennett.
With the Maroons missing experienced front-rower Josh Papalii it will be up to Myles to help compose the young forward pack and get them ready to bring out their best performance in Townsville on June 9.
Game one of the State of Origin Series will be played at 10pm next Wednesday in Queensland.
