Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2549380, member: 8215"] I think it's passed the point of Milford being a Raider next year. Ricky is obviously having a tanty and thinks that if the Raider's can't play him then no one can. But he always has a thought process behind these foolish decisions, and they are the reason why he considers himself a genius. The irony is that he's actually so stupid that he can't see the folly. In his head, he thinks that he's perceived as a respected taskmaster. He' won premierships, won Origin series' as a player, and won individual Origin games as coach (he'd have won a series if not for the refs, insert fist shake here). He is tough on his players but they respect him for it because he has shown that it gets results (cough). He needs to stand firm. Show everyone that Ricky's Raiders will not be taken lightly. Allowing a release for a contracted player would be foolish, it would undermine his team's culture (double cough). Be tough. Let them know who's boss and they will respect him for it. Genius. And ballsy. No one is as ballsy as Ricky (vomit). Back on a place we call Planet Earth, it doesn't work that way. Ricky thinks he's a master wordsmith, that he can twist anything and he comes up looking like Greenberg. But the media (and the Broncos for that matter) are much smarter. It'll end up a PR nightmare for them. Regardless of the wording, Milford had a clause inserted that in his own mind protected him if he wanted to go home. If it wasn't that important to him, why was it inserted in the contract? If the only way he'd sign with Canberra was to have this get-out clause, then Canberra have royally fucked him over. You can roll out as many Broncos-hating "experts" as you want, all saying that Milford is just a weasel and he should honour what he signed, but eventually the public will see it for what it is. And that's that Milford has been shafted. The reality isn't that Raider's players will bow down to Master Ricky, and not dare to question his strength. The reality is that in the long term players are going to be hesitant to sign with Canberra because they'll be concerned that they, too, will be shafted. Just like Milford. [/QUOTE]
