Message: [QUOTE="Super Freak, post: 2636146, member: 8536"] [B]ANTHONY Milford wants to follow the same career path of his childhood idol Darren Lockyer and eventually settle in the halves once he is big enough to handle the defensive workload in the front line. [/B] In a statement which is certain to put minds at ease among the Brisbane faithful who were concerned the club had signed yet another fullback for 2015, Milford confirmed his long term ambition as a playmaker. With Ben Barba already at the Broncos and Milford moving north in 2015 there had been question marks about how both would fit in the same team, especially after the teenager stated he wanted to cement the No.1 jersey in his final year at Canberra this season. But the 19-year-old reigning Raiders player of the year said playing fullback was a tactic to protect his young and developing body until he was confident it could handle the rigours headed his way as a defensive target. "At the moment I'm liking fullback, but probably further down the track I'd like to end up in the halves," Milford told the Courier Mail. "I like it at the back and it's kind of saving my body instead of being in the front line. "Especially being a half the halves always get targeted a lot so I guess further on as I get bigger I'd love to go there."
