I think the point was trying to make is you want players at your club that members of the community and fans can look up to, or at the very least are law abiding and generally moral people. They don't necessarily have to be in the same mould as your best mate.
Exactly. There are that many kids who just end up bigger and stronger then everyone else at a young age, like through high school rep teams etc., who absolutely steam role all the littler guys and everyone thinks they'll be the next big thing a future professional, but a couple of years down the...
I honestly don't think he would be that bad of a pick up considering how cheap he'd come... Add some mongrel at least and keep Thiaday from the front row.
I'm not really sure what the NRL could have done, I mean what are they supposed to say sorry Marto your just coming into your prime and about to score one of maybe 3 big earning contracts in your career but sorry you MIGHT be guilty so we refuse to register your contract?
Also O'Donnell...
That implies there's been a point in his life when he's had a need for it....
If he can't even score on the field how do you expect him to score anywhere else ;)
Success in U20's isn't a very reliable indicator of success in first grade though, so I'd like to see him moved to Q Cup next season if he performs strongly in 20's. Also considering we don't have a clear solution for a long term 5/8th speeding up his development could be very important...
Agreed, hopefully he dominates the early rounds of U20's and gets moved into QCup for the remainder of the season. Sure if he continues to dominate even in Q Cup give him a crack around Origin (Barba's career best form will demand his selection ;) ).
I'm all for giving him a shot in first grade...
Not only would the NRL likely support the Broncos in order to avert negative PR/losing Milf to the NRL, but I highly doubt it would ever get that far. The raiders would be stupid to risk going to court over it or even go to mediation or whatever the process is with the NRL.
If they win they get...
It's not about making Hoff happy, but IF we get Milf it basically comes down to one of them being full back one 5/8th... And I think Barba is a better fullback then Milf but overall the combination of Barba in the halves and Milford at the back would be more effective imo.
End of the day if we...
In response to all three points we should at least trial him there and see how he handles it but I believe that Barba at 5/8th will be the best for the team
Just about to write this, I'd rather we focus on developing our halves in Q Cup so they don't end up like Hunt...
Maybe if Cullen/Whoever came on in the halves and Milf shifts to hooker to give Macca a break, give us more leg speed around the ruck, kicking from dummy half and allows our younger...
He was definitely promising but I'd like to see his passing game develop a little more, his ball running is obviously amazing and his long kicking looked solid, remember at least one good 40/20 (don't recall much of his short kicking).
