The reason Milford is in Samoa is by invitation from the King of Samoa - the whole team was invited to attend a private and public parade as the nation is proud of their boys - I recently went to Fiji and on the flight over was the 7's fiji rugby team - they came runners up in the plate play off...
and all this talk about is he worth $250k and is he a good buy at that price - well if he performs like he did last year then we are wasting our money - if we spend $100k or 400K on a player who is not performing up what is expected of him - and yes there are others in the team in this boat as...
I have read all the comments of this afternoon and this evening and thanks Pete for agreeing with me and a few others but let me ask you this question - out of the 32 normal club centres which went around in the NRL in 2013 season where would you rate Jack Reed - Top 10 - middle 10 or bottom 12...
UPtHEGUTS - you have ht the nail on the head - we have maybe 3 or 4 payers in the team who perform at the top level each week but on the whole all we hear are excuses coming from Hook - we missed by that much and we will just have to improve next week etc - unfortunately for too long now we have...
Manifesto - to put things into perspective I play "supercoach" every year and Reed started the year at about the $250,000 mark and ended at $170,000 - supercoach is based on all aspects of the game - attack and how many meters gained with points awarded if they run for over 8 meters in atttack...
Broncos for life you are very impatient - I was getting to you - MMMM It is a problem as they have missed the boat a few times in the past 12 months is snapping up a couple of good young blokes but to answer your question if you are going to have a potent backline attack it starts at the half...
Morkel - mate if I was a chance of playing for Qld as my home state or by birth or relative ties being able to play for the poms I would pick Qld anytime but if I didnt want to back myself that I was good enough for the Qld team then the old dart would be mt second chance card - and yes I know...
ok so lets take the last few comments on here and reply to them one by one - Kingpest - he maybe a top bloke - he is probably as passionate as you and me but if he is not quiet up to the mark - in my humble opinion - then we should go seraching for someone that can help win us a premiership and GF
Broncos for life - give it up - the only reason Reed played for England was that he was never a chance of playing for Australia and he new it - the poms would accept anybody that was half decent but really I doubt if he would make the current England side - he may be in the squad but not in the...
Thanks CaptainHook - I am passionate about my BRONCOS and want them to really do well next year - somehow someway someone has to help Reed become a better tackler - Fair dinkum i wish he was a good as GI but he is not and the only real flaw is his style of tackling and whilst it seems everybody...
Good try by Reed BUT he was not trying to tackle anybody - he may be a bloody good bloke - he is obviously a talented rugby league player but he has defensive problems - funny that nobody is coming up with any stats to prove me wrong here - seems to be all talk but no proof
No i am just expressing my opinion which is what a forum is for - I am putting up my argument as to why I don't think Reed is a top notch player who commands the money and contract he now has - that is what i said in my very first post on the subject
You and others have a right to express your...
You see thats the beauty of a forum - we all have different views and everybody is able to express them
I guess most of us on here are members and we go to all the games and watch the others on TV - So during next season I will put up his weekly stats - i will count his tackles and missed...
"As for his tackling, he is one of the best defensive centres in the game and that is well recognized. Always I fail to see why thumping the ground because you are angry at yourself for the rare missed tackle is a bad thing.."
Now BRONCOS FOR LIFE - WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR INFO FROM THAT...
Holden NRL Dream Team 2013 - NRL.com
MMMM Maybe you cannot read too well - I thought I worked out the stats taken from the NRL stats centre - now I am sure I said that at the bottom of my figures but why dont you go and pull them out and work them out from the site yourself
I am not against...
Now I said earlier that I would give you some stats on Jack Reed to back up what I was saying - in that he is a terrible defender and really is very over-rated when it comes to performing against other centres in the comp - these stats are for 2013 season and for those who thinks stats do...
Re: [RUMOUR] Anthony Milford to Broncos
Well this is not the forum to discuss Jack Reed as I said above but I will find the stats on him later and post them on here which will back up my point - just for what it is worth 70% of all tries against the Broncos which have been scored out wide have...
Watching Milford in the World Cup games he was the guy who sparked everything for Samoa - as a 19 year old he is sensational - reminds me of another bloke at 19 who didn't go too badly at fullback and then 5/8th.
We need him to be at the Broncos next year and whatever needs to be done - swap...
