Speaking on the Channel Nine's Footy Show in an interview with Erin Molan, QLD star and Cowboys playmaker Johnathan Thurston has revealed the news everyone north of the border has been dying to hear.

When asked if he'd consider an Origin swansong if he got the call-up from a desperate QLD coach next year, JT said he wouldn't rule it out.

"If I got the call from the coach, I'd probably consider it," JT said.

"I am comfortable with the decision I've made. It's unfortunate the way my career has finished. But that's footy."

Thurston announced his retirement from rep football earlier in the season, and has remained stoic that this would be the end of his rep career. However, this latest discussion on the topic could mean we get the chance to see him run around at the top level again.
