Veteran Maroons forward Nate Myles (pictured)  is expected to start in Wednesday nights final State of Origin game despite not having played in a number of weeks.

Myles has been training well with the side after recovering from recent knee surgery and will return to the Queensland starting lineup with Josh McGuire to return to the bench.

Maroons five eighth Johnathon Thurston says he has no doubt that Myles is ready to go and that Queensland is a better side  with the 31 year old 30 game veteran in the starting lineup.
