Canberra playmaker Anthony Milford emerging as Queensland State of Origin star Anthony Milford of the Raiders is in the QLD emerging Origin squad. HE has been labelled a future State of Origin star since the age of 15, now the tag is official with teenage playmaker Anthony Milford selected in Mal Meninga's Emerging Origin squad. The much-hyped Milford, who will join the Brisbane Broncos in 2015, is one of four squad debutants alongside Newcastle Knights duo Dane Gagai and Korbin Sims and Sydney Roosters prop Dylan Napa. With incumbent centre Justin Hodges an outside chance to be match fit for the first State of Origin game in late May, Gagai will be in line for a berth in the three-quarters. Returning Emerging Origin squad member Will Chambers will also be fighting for the position if Hodges does not recover from his achilles tendon injury in time. While Sydney Roosters hooker Jake Friend is clearly being pegged as the man to replace Maroons captain Cameron Smith, selected as the only rake in the group. There are six players returning to the squad from last January - Broncos recruits Ben Barba and Martin Kennedy along with Justin O'Neill, Edrick Lee, Aidan Guerra and Michael Morgan. The camp is run by Queensland Academy of Sport rugby league director Wayne Bennett and Maroons coach Meninga. The two-day camp begins on January 17 at the Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre.
