Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3121143, member: 9326"] This was the best case scenario for Brisbane I think. Probably the best case scenario for Milford too. Everyone now gets a little more time to decide what to do next and get a bit more football under the belt to make a case either way. It's to some extent still a double edged sword for Brisbane though - the better Milford plays alongside Croft and behind our Forward Pack, the more reason there is to re-sign him, but in the same vein it also drives his asking price up as well attracting greater interest from other clubs. If Milford kills it this year and again into next season (and honestly, I sincerely hope he does) and other clubs are tossing around $1M+ deals for him, and it's going to cost us something not far off that to retain him, then I think the club is going to have a really big call on their hands indeed, especially if we still have Croft in great touch and we also hopefully have Dearden lighting up the Queensland Cup at that point too. It's all well and good to assume he'll take less money to stay in Brisbane and repay some of the faith we've shown in him, but this next deal will probably be Milford's most important of his career as he should really be at the peak of his powers and really looking for one more big pay day, and if Brisbane cant match the $1M+ deals an in form Milford would probably command, then I think there is a fair chance we won't be able to keep him.
