I agree, re: maranta. I think anyone suggesting he should've scored that try are being harsh. There was no way to know vatuvei would screw that up so badly.
I appreciate the discussion as opposed to the others that just say I'm stupid etc. I do hate Bennett, but my Milford related posts are not Bennett related. If he came to us and played 6 under griffin I would feel the same. Bennetts love for Boyd means there is basically no chance of milf moving...
Im sure he has put a player through a gap once too! Better make him the Warriors new five eighth.
Reminds me though, we contained him well today. The first team to hold him out this year. Big effort IMO
Stupidity is in abundance, you are right, because there's only a handful on this board that can see Milford is being used wrong.
Its hilarious you mention that a 6 controls a game with kicking and passing and then u seem to be an advocate for milf at 6. you are right in that milf is attracting...
Ftr I don't want the Broncos to lose. I cheered them on today and thought we played well for the most part. But there is no reason at all for me to say Milford is playing well, or even looking like playing well. A win for the team doesn't mean the individuals are performing to the best of their...
You guys are so desperate for Milford to succeed at 6 that if he does anything slightly decent, it's a big story. His pass to Glenn last week was good, but Hoffman occasionally put people in gaps like that too, it wasn't exactly out of this world brilliance. One decent pass in 4 weeks is all...
You can't use Glenn's stats to try make Milford look good. Glenn is playing for a contract and a starting spot, he's running lines again (which I have to admit, is probably a move by Bennett and I love it). Any half would be instructed to get Glenn the ball on those lines, it's not a reflection...
Wouldn't say Milford was shit, but wouldn't say he was good or solid either. 2 glaring things today showed he doesn't have the skills that we need from a half.
1. Kick out on the full with no pressure.
2. He cannot pass left to right. He tried to put maranta in for a try off a cut out but...
Especially when we arent exactly flush with an abundance of good wingers. If maranta gets injured right now (assuming copley is injured also)... who would play wing?
I keep reading on here that reed is a good defender, and in some people's eyes he is one of the best defensive centres in the game, but whenever he is tested he fails miserably. Copley cant be much worse
I think too many coaches are trying to manufacture halves these days. We saw it fail for inglis, gasnier, wighton and hayne (i could go on and on, there have been that many) and i think we are going to see the same for milford and barba. It is a specialised position and i think some coaches...
Re: [Rumour] Dane Gagai to Brisbane in 2016
Copely has shown small periods of brilliance backed up with a long run of mediocre games. The fact he cant even keep Reed out of the side proves he is anything but a lock in. Gagai would take his spot in a heartbeat, and on current form, hodges'...
I dont believe bennett tried to work with vidot at all though. didnt even give him a chance. sounds like he was shipped off to the jets before he even had a chance, so if that is true it doesnt reflect well on bennett, and i dont think many coaches would do that, without at least giving them a...
