All he did was replace Burgess and GI’s contracts with like for like value players

He clearly isn’t a “no clue coach” however his track record on developing halves isn’t that great. Langer & Walters were already the finished item when he started coaching them. He had Walker, Seymour, etc come through the ranks and couldn’t really get them to where they could have gone. The only real playmaker(s) he has developed is Lockyer and Boyd.
Bennett is great with forwards & outside backs, but in almost 40 years of coaching the development of spine players is his one weakness. He can add the polish to a spine player, but to develop them from rookie to great is not what he is capable of. Yet, a coach like Bellamy can take a rookie spine player and turn them into immortals.

Yeah I have no clue what their cap situation is. Was a surprise to me reading 007s post.

Perhaps. But he was a gun rookie and never really went on with it. Maybe more than him than Bennett, but it is a blaring blemish on Bennett’s record his lack of developing spine players.

True, but if my memory serves me correctly they were (mostly) after he left the Broncos.

Hardly. take a look at their contracts and lengths. Murray was signed until 2025 for example.

Lol imagine saying “only developed Lockyer and Boyd” as a critique of someone’s ability to develop spine players.
Let’s not think about what he did with Berrigan, or what he achieved with Jamie Soward and Hornby

And to flog a dead horse we would have a very different version of Milford today had Wayne stayed

Nope. Anthony Milford will find a team in the NRL. Apparently Broncos a deliberately going quiet on the talk of Adam Reynolds because they don't want to upset Milford and Tom Dearden. You are more likely to drop your bundle and not play your best if you find out that you won't be returning. I would say Milford's manager isn't hunting because Milford wants to stay and it's been reported that this is the case.
Milford though could be a good fit in England. Blake Austin who has a similar style to Milford as a running half has been going great guns over there. Whether Milford would go is another question.
Yep and on the piss flat out.

Reynolds should be the target and this is exactly where a player option could work. Give him 2 years with a PO and if he is killing it great, but if he is always injured and you can't medically retire him, just have a quiet word from the CEO saying don't take up the PO but we will still pay you ...... just in little brown paper bags, or lost golf bets
How bout 2 with a club option but I doubt that will even happen, he'll stay imo

Broncos failed him? Milford and his manager gaged interest from Melbourne to jack up his price figure. They took advantage of the fact the Broncos had already lost Ben Hunt to the Dragons. And knew the Broncos would be desperate to retain him.
I doubt Milford will be returning any of the money he was paid from the Broncos for below sub par play for years. Broncos have given him countless chances without being dropped and have been far harsher on other players (Corey Oates). Broncos have failed Milford yeah that's a good one.
