Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2647775, member: 1899"] [B]Anthony Milford excited about Broncos’ future under Wayne Bennett[/B] [B]WITH his debut in Broncos colours finally within reach, star off-season signing Anthony Milford has opened up about his tumultuous journey “home” and the future his new club is building towards under legendary coach Wayne Bennett. [/B] Normally considered to be one of the NRL’s most reserved and quiet characters, Milford has been “buzzing” since Brisbane’s full squad gathered to begin the final stage of pre-season training early in the new year. The return of the club’s Test representatives for the final month of work before trial matches officially begin, inevitably pushes training levels into overdrive. This year, however, has perhaps seen an even more significant lift, courtesy of the speed with which Bennett’s new playmaking core has evolved. The work of Milford in tandem with boom half-back Ben Hunt has been impressive. Unquestionably the NRL’s most improved player in 2014, Hunt is determined to build on his growing influence at Red Hill, with the confidence gained after standout performances for the Kangaroos in the Four Nations tournament evident in the authority his words now carry among the group. With Hunt and good friend Andrew McCullough taking responsibility for steering the team around the park, Milford will in turn be free to sit back and choose when and where to inject himself into Brisbane’s attack. Bennett is essentially handing his young gun a licence to roam and simply back his instincts. “Wayne has just said to me he wants me to back myself in attack … he isn’t interested in having me locked in to any really set structure or keeping me pinned on one side of the field the whole time,” Milford said. “I think we have a pretty good group filling those main ball-playing positions down the spine of the team. “I think we are all pretty young, but the big thing is we all bring something different and I guess you would say complement each other.” Milford was one of four new Broncos selected to play in the Auckland Nines along with James Gavet, Greg Eden and Matt Parcell. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/nrl/anthony-milford-excited-about-broncos-future-under-wayne-bennett/story-fnca0von-1227193805906 [/QUOTE]
