Anthony Milford Discussion

Kent's response last night was one of the worst pieces of media I have ever seen in the NRL. Not only has he lied, which he admits by agreeing that he had never spoken to Benji, he goes after Bennett personally by bringing up his new partner, which has completely nothing to do with this topic. He has now brought to light a private topic which Wayne clearly wants to keep private just to make himself look like less of the complete retard he is. He got caught out lying and instead of copping it he gets defensive and tells everyone how Wayne is losing the people around him. I hope Brisbane smash Canberra so all of the NSW fuckwits will shut up for the weekend, albeit highly unlikely.
 
So Ikin made it up then? Ikin works with him. He wouldn't have wrote the article mentioning ikin if it wasn't true. Ikin would have just flat out denied it and said Kent made it up. Get your head out of the sand

Get your head out of your ass muppet !

I'm just over he media as a whole. They're completely full of shit in every aspect. I'm cancelling my Foxtel subsription today, because they have given pricks like Kent and Buzz Rothfield jobs. For a channel that promotes the game, hiring people who would sooner throw the game under a bus than say a positive thing about it isn't the way to go. Also I'm over their virtue signaling bullshit and if I have to hear the ad where the girl says "get over it boys" out of context I might throw something at my Tv.

Kent literally says "I won't get into his personal life" after four minutes of talking about his personal life, then continues to talk about it. And those twats just sat there and agreed. This game isn't helping itself.
 
I think it's all benji fault. He want to play golf with Ben iken. They should talk about their life not the club and specially not about players. If benji notice Milford is not giving 100 percent in field or gym training. He should talk to Milford or Wayne Bennett about it. I hope benji learn his lesson.
 
Wayne Bennett gave Benji Marshall a job when he joined Brisbane — look after Anthony Milford
Peter Badel, The Courier-MailMarch 23, 2017 6:43pm

WHEN Benji Marshall joined the Broncos over summer, coach Wayne Bennett gave him a simple instruction — look after Anthony Milford.

There was no madness to the method. Bennett believed Milford needed a mentor, an old dog who could teach a talented young pup a few tricks.

While Bennett’s shock signing of Marshall has raised eyebrows, his true value to the Broncos may ultimately be measured not by what he does on the field, but what he does for Milford off it.

Marshall lobbed at Red Hill as one of the squad’s fittest players. Milford reported for pre-season overweight.
As is the Brisbane way, Broncos players did not let Milford off the hook, ribbing him about the excess festive-season kilos he has spent the past two months diligently shedding.

But behind the laughs, Bennett got serious about Milford’s footballing education. He hollered for Marshall to provide the tough love.

Throughout his NRL coaching career, Bennett has driven his players by a core axiom — don’t stop three steps short. His mantra is if you stop three steps short in a training run, you stop short in the heat of battle.

It’s a lesson in mental toughness. Bennett doesn’t want Milford stopping three steps short. So Marshall sits on his shoulder at Red Hill, ramming home the philosophy.

It reached a flashpoint over summer. In the gym, the Broncos players were asked to punch out 10 repetitions on the bench press. Milford completed seven, then racked the barbell.

In this case, three reps short. Marshall, acting on Bennett’s orders, bristled.

“You were told to do 10, mate,” he said to Milford. The next time, Marshall counted every rep, making sure Milford completed 11.

It would be unfair to label Milford a poor trainer — he regularly does extras simulating matchwinning field goals — but at 22 he remains impressionable. Bennett is excising the bad habits.

Marshall, having learned harsh lessons himself in his 14-year NRL journey, knows hard work separates the very good from the great.

“He (Milford) gets ridden here, big time,” Marshall told NRL.com.

“I’ve really taken it upon myself this year to take him under my wing and help him train a bit harder and just learn about doing a few things extra.

“I think he is seeing the benefits of some of that but he doesn’t get any special treatment. If he did we’d probably bash him to be honest.

“He cops a lot of flak from people for how big he looks but he still moves pretty good.

“I could name 15 of the best players that ever played that had the same body. Cameron Smith has got a dog’s body, there’s heaps of people. You don’t have to have a mad body to be able to play.

“I’ve got no problems with the way he trains, I thought he had a pretty big pre-season.”

that article from Pete Badel is a much better written article, and probably exactly what happened.
 
But if there is no problem with Milford's work ethic, why is Marshall on his back about it?

I don't have any issue that Kent brought this up. Maybe all this talk about Milford will wake him the **** up and make him realize he needs to put in the hard work without a babysitter forcing him.
 
God I wish we'd won that grand final. All of this doesn't happen, Milford is the clive churchill medalist and Wayne cement's his legacy as a bloody legend even further. 30 seconds. FFS.

Not to mention Kent is allegedly good friends with Ricky, so there is no way better for Bennett to hit back at his detractors than to have his team demolish the Raiders tonight...

Maybe its all part of the plan to get the best out of him.
 
What's up with the Broncos and Bennett being enemy number one in the media/ with refs these days? Without us there wouldn't be an NRL, so it's pathetic that we get singled out as scum, especially when you consider how we play the game (very little wrestling; few to no deliberate penalties defending the line; light and mobile pack, which was the aim of the reduced interchange; exciting back line with running halves) and how we run our club.

The Super League experiment proved the above as fact, and it's a shame, looking back with all the Sydney centric rubbish we have now, that it didn't kill off then N(SW)RL.

The ramifications of that loss will linger for years if a title isn't won in the meantime.
 
Let's be clear. Milford should have been the Medalist regardless of the result. The win would have been enough for JT's hero status.
 
Tallis on Triple M said the only one here who has lied is Bennett. Big surprise.

Technically, no one has lied. They've all used semantics to skirt the truth and manipulate it to make it seem something else. No one has done that more than Kent.

The context in which he made the comment was in regards to Milford potentially being paid $900k a season. The reason they were scoffing was because of this belief, whether it is real or not, that Milford is a bad trainer. He used Marshall's comment to push the belief that, yes, Milford is a bad trainer and therefore is a massive gamble on such big money.

In reality though, Marshall's comments were taken out of context, completely. The articles since has clarified that Marshall was commenting positively about Milford, about how he did come back overweight and seemingly willing to take short cuts, but how he and Marshall have bonded and set about pushing each other. So was Milford overweight and a bad trainer? Technically, yes, at least at one point in time? Is how now? Apparently not. Bennett is right - at the moment there is no issue with his training. If anything, should he follow the same path, he has a great amount of improvement in him. And looks to be on that path, with Marshall's guidance, as we all suspected he would.

So **** off Kent. The comment that you used was from a situation that has long been rectified. Throwing both Marshall and Milford under a bus in order to fabricate or grossly exaggerate a situation might be Jornalism 101, but in the real world it's called being a shitfuck. Enjoy the limelight while it lasts, then crawl back to your pathetic parasitic existence.

This is the closest to my opinion on the matter.

The fact Ikin leaked what was probably a real conversation off the record to a shit **** like Kent wouldn't have been innocent. Whether Ikin's motivation was to put a fire under Milford or try to drive a wedge between Broncos players is the question, because I have no doubts about Kent's intention...

I hope one thing comes out of this... that no one in the NRL world ever trusts Kent again, after the way he threw Benji under the bus!

The Broncos are the only team in one of the largest cities in the country, we are always going to be a focus for attention. We are one of the most successful teams in the competition and Broncos stories sell papers and get clicks.

The other teams and states resent us for what they see as favourable schedules etc.

Bottom line is, everything we do will be under the microscope. More so now that Bennett has a personal feud with the media over his personal life.

The media are always going to be looking for a story, I just hope the boys can avoid getting distracted.
