Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2671172, member: 2221"] The biggest reason why Milford is going to remain at 5/8 is... because Boyd. Milford is not the best 5/8 we have. That is a fallacy, given who we have in the U20's and even Boyd, Kahu or Hodgo are better 5/8's. By placing him where he is and given the amount of pressure put on him, we are negating his best qualities, and hindering his progress. He needs to take advantage of his explosiveness in second phase play and space, and he is not getting that at the moment. The reasoning that he has a good short kicking and passing game, besides his running game, is not a reason to say he's a good 5/8. In fact, that is exactly the playmaking abilities you'd want your fullback to have in the modern game. A halve however, needs more organisational qualities, a better kicking game and the ability to get people around him into holes and space. Milford isn't capable of that... at least, not yet. I can understand the reluctance of giving Ash Taylor a go, as he is "only killing it in the U20's", but he is the best halve we have at the Broncos imo, is less than a year younger than Milford, and is bound to be breaking down the door to FG soon, if not already. And yes BP, I have seen Taylor play heaps! [/QUOTE]
