There's no way Stuart isn't picking Milford in the starting 17. I really don't see all the fuss about Stuart as a coach. He's done nothing significant in a very long time. He can't take credit for Graham Murray's Roosters side that he baby sat to a premiership. He may have had 1 decent...

Surely anyone who can't jump on a trampoline without breaking a toe, can't be considered the best young talent.

Stuarts only objective for 2014 is to avoid another wooden spoon. Bushman, you can't seriously believe that all this bad press about how the Raiders are treating Milford won't affect their ability to recruit from outside the club.

What do Ayoub and Milford have to lose from taking it to court or the NRL? They lose the case, and end up in the same position they are now. They win, and Milford plays for us in 2014, A team he actually wants to play for. Ricky Stuart really is a walking contradiction.

This will play out exactly as the Raiders fans say it will.. He won't sit out at all. He'll be playing for us next year. The Raiders won't get any players or any compensation.

Wake up mate. No similarities between the two. Milford: Has release clause Has a sick dad Is homesick Canberra has become toxic for him Hoffman: Wants to play fullback ? ? If we get Milford, you can bet Hoffman will be gone.

The Canberra Times has been just as bad. For every pro-Broncos Courier Mail article, there has been an anti-Broncos pro-Raiders response. Nature of the beast, and if it gets him here for 2014, so be it. The hypocrisy is undeniable though.

Article addressing the Raiders hypocrisy. No Cookies | thetelegraph.com.au

There's obviously some bad blood between Milford and Stuart now. What type of attitude does Ricky think Milford will have next year? Knowing he's being forced to be there, against his will?

The NRL 'IS' the supreme authority that administers contracts for NRL players. Which is why a player can't play NRL without having their contract registered with them. Have you seen an NRL player contract? Massive NRL logo at the top of it. And a release is essentially a 'termination'...

Yes the NRL can force the release. The NRL is the contract administrator (the body who enforces the contract rules). They get the final say, which is why the contracts have to be registered with them. In the same way the NRL can terminate/de-register a contract, they can order the release...

If it comes to it, I'd rather he takes the year off. The Broncos pay him his salary off the books (salary cap) to stay in Brisbane and train with us. Instead of sending him to the wolves in Canberra where he'll be depressed, stressed out and given Canberra's history, get himself into...

That's the issue with the Raiders and their fans. They're taking all their clubs poor management and frustrations out on the wrong player. Take the Broncos out of the equation, and show you're not heartless bastards and let a young Qld kid be with his family. They should have taken...

SBW didn't have a release clause. He also didn't try to utilise all available options of communication with the Bulldogs. He also didn't have a well documented history of homesickness and have a father with heart issues. And he didn't turn down double the money to stay at the Bulldogs...

Ayoub is a sneaky fella.. He knows what he's doing. We always said that once he signed with us for 2015 and beyond, the games would start, trying to get him out of the 2014 contract. So far it's working.

Ayoub baited the Raiders. And they took the bait and ran. It won't be about what Ayoub said, it will be about how stupid the Raiders look announcing a press release/emailing members about something that wasn't the truth. Ayoub will simply say the journos took his words out of context.

This is the problem. The NRL gave clubs what they wanted. They hand them the grant money and let them run themselves, because clubs don't want to be told how to they should be run by the NRL. But then when clubs with bad management like the Raiders stuff everything up, then they expect the...

If the Raiders had clean hands in regard to contracts, maybe pushing the 'value of contracts' might have got some credit. But their track history with signing a contracted Ferguson, signing a contracted Ricky Stuart, sacking contracted players Dugan and Ferguson, signing Dayne Weston but then...

Very dangerous territory letting NRL clubs decide matters relating to health issues. How sick does his dad have to be before the Raiders let him use the clause? Another heart attack? Re- hospitalisation? Dead?
