Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2979954, member: 1899"] Milford had to effectively win 16+ votes out of a possible 42 in those final seven rounds to win the medal (3-2-1 by the players and 3-2-1 by the coaching staff). The Broncos played Panthers (Won 50-18), Sharks (Won 12-10), Bulldogs (Lost 36-22), Cowboys (Lost 34-30), Rabbitohs (Won 38-18), Roosters (Won 22-8) & Sea Eagles (Won 48-16). Milford's last three games were noticeably strong and he would have picked up some votes in that Panthers clash and possibly in our lossers. I'm at a loss with Pangai Jr not receiving a solitary vote after Round 12. Even when he was only on the field for 30 minutes, his impact was undeniable and he was still coming up with big plays against Souths and the Roosters. Milford's win is certainly out of left field, but it is a testament to Anthony's improvement as a player. Since the players voted for Ofahengaue, the coaching staff must have been impressed with the way Milford was leading the team around the paddock, particularly in those late rounds. Congratulations to him and I hope those performances against South Sydney and the Roosters are a sign of things to come from him. Adam Walsh is the player welfare manager. Considering some of the hurdles some of our players had to overcome this season, his impact has been evident to see and it's good to see that recognized. All the recipients are deserving. The only disappointment was the James Roberts try against the Chooks missing out. I can't think of any Bronco in history that could have scored that try, and that's including the Pearl. Bennett must not have had a say. Finally, it was good to hear that Sammy received a 3 minute standing ovation when he went up to do his speech. He's been a wonderful ambassador for the club and a real fan favourite. Once Locky retired, nobody ever got a louder reaction on Game Day than Sam. [/QUOTE]
