Anthony Milford Discussion

[Cult]

Ffs guys.. it's round 4!
We beat last year's premiers without really playing that great, we went toe to toe with the previous year's premiers AGAIN taking it to golden point against a team sporting the greatest player in the world who has lost his fair share of games in his early years... we also went within two points and 5mins with last year's grand finalist with an amazing defensive display very similar to 2015's determination.. oh, forgot to mention they sport the REST of the QLD origin spine in their team...

I saw a few comments about how great 2015 was. Well how well did we start the season that year??! Getting smashed by 100 points against the reigning premiers!

We have a new attacking structure that will take a few more rounds to really click.. we have now played the better teams of the comp. And escaped with narrow losses. Very narrow! And that's because of our hunger and determination in D. Ala 2015.

Milford is still young. He's single handedly won games for us before and no.. He's not the superstar of Thurston quality but who else will be at 21,22,23???! Hardly anyone WOULD get to that calibre.

Let's all take a step back and chill out for a second. We're all good! Our season I feel is abouy to take off. It starts against the raiders tomorrow night

By saying it's only round 4 you're completely forgetting his shit form from last year though.

Badel tweet just now.

Bennett says he asked Benji and Benji denied it all

Journalists are fucking scum bags.

Whether or not Milf has been slack at training isn't an issue to me, we have good coaching staff and trainers to sort that out.
The issue for me is that it appears that a bloke who's been at the club for 3 minutes(who was thrown a lifeline) thinks it's OK to go chatting to Paul Kent about shit. We're not the fucken Tigers, we don't have in house issues splashed around the media.
I think it's evident that Milf isn't at peak fitness but there could be reasons for this that aren't apparent to us as fans looking from outside in.
I also think Paul Kent has heard something from Benji otherwise he wouldn't have used his name and if Benji did so then I hope Bennett ***** him off.
Pretty stupid from a bloke who's trying to mount a comeback.
And **** Paul Kent.

Benji said Kent made it up...

 

[jarro65]

Benji said Kent made it up...

And Bennett believes Benji

 

[broncos4life]

I reckon Kent was speaking shit and has thrown it out thinking no one would question it because Benji used to be on the show.

Either way its a scumbag move, you don't throw a source under the bus like that. Kent should know that and know what Benji would cop by being named, regardless of whether Benji was the source or not. By doing that, it means players will be more reticent when speaking with him in the future.

Dumb move.

 

[Morkel]

Kent will say it was a hypothetical. "I just meant that if someone like Benji saw Milford cutting corners he'd be filthy, and rightly so".

 

[Jason Simmons]

Paul Kent just came out and called milf a lazy trainer. His spare wheel definitely gives the claim some weight.

There is little doubt in my mind, he doesn't work hard in the weights room. He has put on weight and not good weight at that and there is little to no muscle definition about him now, whatsoever.

I've no doubt he does all the running and drills with the team, but to say he is a lazy trainer by NRL standards is an easy thing to believe. People can say what they like about Ben Hunt, but you look at him and Milford side by side and there is no doubt about who works harder on their strength and fitness.

Funny how Paul Kent is now being slammed for saying what most of us are saying as well...

 

[john1420]

Paul Kent is being slammed for saying that Benji told him

And the article on nrl.com from Benji makes me think Kent made it up

I don't think journos nowadays care whether a player talks to them or not they'll just write up any story they think will sell regardless.

Why would any player go to a journo nowadays when they're so quick to throw them under the bus at the first chance for a headline. Media in general are the scum of the earth and NRL "journalists" have been sliding further and further into tabloid bs because they think that sells

 

[Renegade]

Let's say the hypothetical is true - are you more concerned with Milf or with Benji being a bit of a rat?

I can see what Benji is trying to do if it is true in terms of motivating Milf, using his experience as being the wonder kid once upon a time ... but if I was a player I'd just look at Marshall like he's a fucking rat and would blank the **** completely.

Whether it's true or not, I think that sort of stuff should be in house laundry. if the hypothetical is true.

It's not what Kent has said... Because he probably has a point but the insinuation that Benji has been in his ear talking about it is my issue.
Everyone that has been following Milf can see that he's carrying a bit of pudding and tends to drop off in games... Therefore anyone could probably assume that he's a bit lazy at training or his diets fucked or whatever... to me the issue is Benji in Kents ear.

Hunt is 5 years his senior! Haters gonna hate.

I think Kent is mainly being slammed for saying that Benji was his source and then Benji coming out and denying it.

 

[Jason Simmons]

Which means what? This is Milford's 4th full year of NRL. So are you saying that with 4 full pre-seasons of NRL training under his belt and 3 full playing seasons with no major injury in that time, isn't enough for Milford to have trained hard and actually resemble a professional athlete?

For the record, he looks both harder and bigger in his Canberra uniform than he does today, 2.5 years since he left that place. Are you going to suggest to he is faster now than he was then, or more on top of his game?

 

[I bleed Maroon]

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if either story was true. But obviously I believe Bennett more. If Benji assured him he didn't say anything, and Wayne had the instinct to believe it, then Paul Kunt is shitstirring to create his own story, which he has done. No doubt they'll be talking about it on 360 tonight, again, especially now that Bennett came out and gave the media (Kent) a massive serve about making shit up.

Kent isn't going to take that lying down, so more shitstirring to come. I say keep it up. If it ignites Milford's season then he's doing us a favor.
