absolutely it would be, but unfortunately we need Milford to prepare for the Warriors game given the NRL have scheduled us to play them without our Origin players ... unlike Melbourne who have the bye

Bit off topic but did I hear correctly last night one of the commentators saying that Cronulla's next 5 matches will all be at home? Rather convenient considering the time of the year imo.

Next 4, but 5 if you include last night's game.
Round 11 vs Cowboys (H)
Round 12 vs Bulldogs (H)
Round 13 Bye
Round 14 vs Storm (H)
Round 15 vs Tigers (H)
Round 16 vs Sea Eagles (H)
Then they have the Roosters (A) on the Central Coast, a bye before they have to travel to the Gold Coast for the Titans.
I agree, he's not there for fun and games. Thurston is in doubt and they will want to give him to the very end to make a call. It'd be nice to have his replacement in camp. It could be enough to make them pick Munster as cover and not Milford.
Milford has been part of camp before in 2014. Barba, Friend and O'Neill were in camp too in 2011 and didn't play. Chambers in 2008.
Extended squads to cover injury are hardly Kevvie's revolution and clubs have always obliged.
Bennett has had cover in camp when he has been Queensland coach.

Most 18th and 19th mans are from clubs who have the bye that week.

Another reason to overhaul the stupid scheduling of Origin.

Walters was frothing over Milford during the coverage so you can expect him to play 6 with Morgan on the bench - obviously he doesn't play if JT is in.

Nate Myles getting picked is laughable TBH. He's been putrid this year.

At least one of Holmes or Oates will be in the 17.

That's the team I'm expecting too. A prop rotation of Lillyman, Myles and Napa is bloody horrible though. None of those 3 will run 100m for the game. We need to get Wallace and/or Bolton in there.
