So you're not sold on Milford at fullback?
I'm the opposite of sold, I want the experiment to end already, he's a Five-Eighth.
He's done an admirable job playing out of position, don't get me wrong, but it's clear to me that it's not his best spot. You only have to look as far as the work rate to know that he's not cut from the cloth required to be a modern day Fullback.
He's got the footwork, speed, passing & kicking required to be a great Fullback, but he does NOT have the size, strength or work rate required. I'm of the opinion that size (height), strength & work rate are 3 of the most important factors in a modern day Fullback.
Milford in his 6 games at Fullback this season - 12.8 runs, 121.5 metres
Tuivasa-Sheck - 21.4 runs - 209.4 metres
Tedesco - 17.6 runs - 199.0 metres
Trbojevic - 21.1 runs - 195.4 metres
Nicoll-Klokstad - 18.0 runs - 173.7 metres
Gutherson - 17.6 runs - 166.1 metres
These guys have sustained these numbers over the whole season, there's such a large gap between the actual Fullbacks and the guys pretending to be Fullbacks, Ponga would be on this list but his month at Five-Eighth combined with his missed games tanked his stats.
Is it possible that with a full off-season training at Fullback and coming back in the shape of his life that Milford could get to similar numbers as these guys? Yes, I think so. Do I have faith that he will come back in the necessary shape to play 25+ games at Fullback, making 20 runs per game and doing all of the leg work required to be a good defensive Fullback? No, no I do not.
