OH NO: Maroons ‘destroyer’ Carrigan ready to go extra Myles…
The legacy of polarising Queensland great Nate Myles and a determination to find another gear are driving Maroons lock Patrick Carrigan ahead of the MCG clash with NSW.
The 26-year-old Brisbane powerhouse will play his eighth consecutive State of Origin match on Wednesday night and is yet to lose a series while playing for the Maroons.
Myles is the team manager and mentor of the forwards in camp.
He played 32 Origin games from 2006 until 2017 in what was a golden era for Queensland. Myles was tough, uncompromising and did his job with no fuss and plenty of impact year after year.
In Carrigan, short and sharp speaking Myles sees a kindred spirit.
“Patty Carrigan is always great in this arena. In regards to what he can do on the field, If he keeps going like this, he will be a destroyer,” Myles said.
Having Myles in camp is a constant reminder to Carrigan about what it means to be a Queensland forward. Myles gets under the skin of NSW like few other former Maroons.
