Message: [QUOTE="CaptainHook, post: 2649001, member: 8315"] I admit my post was predominately said in jest. I'm extremely glad Milford is playing for our club. The point I was trying to make is that we all have our individual favourites and we all have our scapegoats. I understand the Nines tournament is probably not the best vehicle to assess a player's form but it can't be a bet each way. What I mean by that is if, for example, Eden or whoever played well the attitude can't be "Who cares? It's only the Nines" while guys like Glenn and McCullough, who under performed, get a free pass because...well... "Who cares? It's only the Nines." This one here is what I was referring to: Based on the last few seasons the two points you made seem at odds with each other. You ask if I expect Milford to "pull **** out of his arse?" My response is well isn't that one of the reasons we signed him? Isn't that what he did for the Raiders on a pretty regular basis? Score and set up tries when not much was doing? Maybe it was new club jitters, maybe he was conserving himself for a big start to the season proper. It's hard to tell. Your other point about poor ball security is not just limited to our U20s. Banana hands is an affliction which is rife through our first grade squad as well over the last 2-3 seasons. Incomplete sets, dropped balls, etc especially at crucial times is practically gifting the two points to the opposition. Now I'm no longer referring to you personally [MENTION=7802]broncos4life[/MENTION] because I don't know what your take is on the players I mention below but what's interesting to me is that it looks like errors from team mates seems to be a perfectly valid excuse for Milford not performing whereas Wallace, Norman, Prince, Hoffman couldn't really produce much under the same circumstances but were pretty much bagged mercilessly. I find that really interesting. [/QUOTE]
