Message: [QUOTE="Ari Gold, post: 2636108, member: 1917"] [b]Re: [RUMOUR] Ben Barba to Cronulla[/b] Milford's skill set is far better suited to fullback IMO. He did have some success in the 6 jersey at the back end but the responsibility stiffled him. Milford is best when he can do what he wants and has the freedom to play what is in front of him. Often that just means not doing anything because he doesn't see an opportunity. At five-eight he looked burdened at times trying to force himself into the game and it ended up with him just being ineffective. And for mine most of his best moments in a #6 jersey came as a result of him operating close to the ruck, even out of dummy half off quick play the balls. Things that he could still do as a fullback. Milford throws a great pass when there's a gap, but I don't think that strength really makes him a five-eight. His kicking game is also average by NRL half standards. Which is not to say he won't be awesome at all those things with time. I think he will be and go on to be a very good five-eight. But I believe he could do all those things as a fullback, with the added benefit of the space that playing the position creates. [/QUOTE]
