The Demons No10 is on the cusp of breaking what is believed to be the club record for points scored.
Mike Kenworthy scored 1050 points for Kaikorai between 1987 and 1992.
That is believed to be the record, according to a club stalwart who has compiled detailed statistics dating back to 1970.
Kenworthy drilled 231 penalties and 108 conversions, kicked 14 drop goals and scored 24 tries during a celebrated stint.
Miller knocked over seven conversions at the weekend to take his total to 1029 points.
His tally consists of 276 conversions, 94 penalties and 39 tries.
It is an extraordinary achievement and, if all goes really well against Taieri at Peter Johnstone Park tomorrow, the 31-year-old could eclipse the record at his old stomping ground.
‘‘It would be a nice big achievement to my name for a club that’s given me so much,’’ Miller said, adding the record had been on his radar for a few seasons.
It would also be nice to bring it up against Taieri.
Miller started out with the Mosgiel-based club and notched 37 games for the Eels before shifting to Kaikorai.
He played alongside the likes of Josh Casey and Kurt Hammer.
Casey is now the Eels coach. The pair actually work together at the BNZ, where Miller is a home loan specialist.
And Hammer — a Taieri stalwart during his playing days — has shifted allegiances and is an assistant coach at Kaikorai.
Miller moved from Taieri for more consistent opportunities and it proved to be an inspired decision.
Kaikorai made the final in his first year at the club, but he was injured and did not feature in the final.
Last year, he guided them back to the final and collected a second title with the club.
His tactical kicking and game management proved critical during the 46-41 win over Harbour, and outshone promising Hawks pivot Rique Miln.
In his prime, Miller was on the cusp of the Otago side and got to play one game for his province — a Ranfurly Shield defence against Thames Valley in Wānaka in 2019.
His goalkicking was hit-and-miss earlier in his career, but he has always been in possession of a good punt and a solid running game.
That punt almost ended his rugby career. He played Australian rules and got noticed across the ditch.
‘‘When I was at high school, I ended up getting a scholarship to Hawthorn. So my last two years at high school and my first year out of high school involved travelling to and from Australia.
‘‘I was trying out and then didn’t get re-signed. That’s when I decided to come back and give rugby a crack.’’
Miller no longer harbours aspirations to play at the top level.
‘‘If [Otago] ever came calling, I wouldn’t say no. But, I guess, I just get a lot more enjoyment out of giving back to the club.
‘‘They’ve provided me with a lot of stuff over the years. We’ve got such a young team, so a few of us older boys are just trying to show a bit more from a leadership point of view.’’
