Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2657387, member: 1847"] My point is simple. Milford is a FB. That is his best position. He may well have play making skills and may well turn out to be a quality 5/8. I saw no evidence of that last night. In any case, as others have observed, his best games in his career have been from FB and for mine, that is where we need him most. I base my belief on my view that he reminds me of a young Lockyer and for me the comparison stands. Whether Lockyer had a half back's skills is irrelevant. He played at the back and that is what matters. He matured as a FB before moving up. His running game reminds me of Milf and vice versa. If he comes good as a 5/8 this year, excellent. I just hope it doesn't take all season, and I just hope his brilliant running game, which, like Lockyer, is his strength while he is young, isn't wasted while we wait for him to mature and this team stays stuck like it has for the last 4 years without a decent halves pairing. I'd rather Milford at the back until Boyd returns if Bennett is stuck on Boyd and Milford in the positions he has selected for them. I'm getting tired of watching the Broncos run around aimlessly without a decent halves pairing AND while we have one of the best FB's in Milford playing half as well as he could up front when we could have him playing brilliantly at the back while we blood a young genuine half as we wait for Boyd to return. Yes, it is Round 1. So let's hope in Round 2 Milford kills at 5/8 or we are in for yet another season like the last 3. [/QUOTE]
