Nate Myles ready to bury State of Origin hatchet for benefit of Kangaroos at the World Cup GOLD Coast forward Nate Myles has rubbished suggestions lingering State of Origin hostilities will divide the Australian squad at the Rugby League World Cup. Myles became the centre of controversy in game one of this year's interstate series when he was slugged by Blues captain Paul Gallen, who claimed the Maroons star led with his head when tackling. The confrontation saw the NRL introduce its "no biff"" policy, but that didn't stop the sides coming to blows in the second match, resulting in the controversial sin-binning of four players. While it has been nearly three months since the Maroons sealed their eighth successive series win, there has been speculation the result could cause a rift along state lines within the Kangaroos camp. But Myles, who was named in the Kangaroos" 24-man squad on Monday, denied there would be any ill-feeling, saying all club and state allegiances are put aside when wearing the green and gold. "You're there to do a job and that's for Australia and that's your focus," Myles said while visiting his hometown of Gordonvale Wednesday. "I think anyone who goes into an Australian camp worrying about themselves and any sort of battle they've got with someone else is being a little bit selfish."" Myles admits he was nervous about his selection prospects after his season was ended by an ankle injury suffered against the Roosters in round 25. Paul Gallen lashes out at Nate Myles in Origin 1. But the 28-year-old is confident of passing Thursday's team medical and expects to be on the plane to England for the five-week tournament. "It's close to 100 per cent now and hopefully it'll get to 100 per cent down in Sydney,"" he said of his ankle. It's one of those things. You try to walk around and just do normal things and if your ankle's not feeling right, you can't help but think a little negative. "But the way things are now, the ankle is starting to feel really good."" Myles will need to be at full fitness if he lines up against Sonny Bill Williams, who was officially named in New Zealand's World Cup squad on Wednesday. The Roosters superstar originally planned to skip the tournament ahead of a likely return to rugby union but had a change of heart on Tuesday. While there has been some controversy about the dual international's late inclusion, Myles said the World Cup would only benefit from having Williams take part. "He's not the easiest bloke to tackle, but it's fantastic for the game,"" he said. "He's a drawcard and there's probably no better athlete in the game than him at the moment.""
