Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2658518, member: 1899"] Is Milford a fullback or five eighth? If you asked his junior coaches, he was neither. From his debut for Souths Logan's Cyril Connell Cup side in 2009 to his days as a Canberra Raiders in SG Ball in 2012, Milford played as a first receiver. The only time there was a deviation was in 2010 where he played fullback for the U/16s Queensland side. For what it's worth, NSW won that game 24-14 with Milford scoring two tries. When Milford made his debut in the NYC it was neither in the halves or at fullback, it was in the centres where he played for three matches. After those three games he was moved to five eighth, where he helped steer the Raiders all the way to a grand final only to go down to Wests 46-6. Unfortunately for Milford, this is the second time he tasted grand final defeat in the same year as his SG Ball campaign ended in a 42-20 loss to Balmain Tigers (of all teams!) 2013 is the year that Milford really arrived on the scene. However, before he was a late call-up onto Furner's bench, he returned to the centres. Once again, he shone there but all it took was one game at fullback to persuade coach Furner that Anthony was the guy for the job. What does this have to do with anything? Not a whole lot to be quite honest. I thought it'd just be interesting to look back on Milford's meteoric rise from virtual unknown, to junior superstar to the great hope he is today. [/QUOTE]
