Message: [QUOTE="QUEENSLANDER, post: 2642698, member: 1771"] Its pretty simple mate. Barba is a 6. Established. No-one is saying he is a fullback. He was moved on because Boyd was coming to play fullback. That set in stone meant we only had five eighth to fill, and milford and barba to fit in the team. Milford clearly wins that, so barba had to go. 3 into 2 doesnt go. Without boyd in the equation, barba is 6, milford is 1. That is why us anti bennett ppl are saying barba moved to make way for boyd. Its pretty simple isnt it. I dont want to argue about barba tho, hes gone. But can people PLEASE stop asking why we suggested barba made way for boyd, because its pretty fucking easy to figure it out. And id like to bring up one thing again. [B]WE ALL AGREE MILFORD WILL END UP AT 6 AND A BIG PART OF COMING HERE WAS TO BE MENTORED BY LOCKYER[/B] [SIZE=5] BUT [SIZE=2]if you actually read any of the articles that you guys keep linking to where milford "says he wants to play 6" you will see (if you actually bother to read past the headline) that he said he saw himself playing 6 when he was much older and bigger. He mentions "the future" a few times and says it will happen when he is bigger. That isnt him saying next year, thats him saying "when i have played fullback for a few years and i get a bit older and slower, i will move". Why else do you think he wants lockyer mentoring him? Coz locky did the same thing. Do you actually think lockyer wouldve been the legend he is had he been forced into 5/8th before he was ready? He wouldve been good, but he wouldnt be the QLD and AUS legend we all know. Milford will be 6, yes, one day. It shouldnt be now. He is going to miss out the years that locky had to develop his game from the back. He is going to be thrown into a higher pressure spot, be relied on far more, and not have the chance to grow like lockyer did. You all seem to think when he said he will end up there he meant "as soon as i move to brisbane im a 6". Reread it properly. Hes talking long term. Milford will never become the player he could be being forced into 5/8 at such a young age. Mark my words. [/SIZE] [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
