With pleasure. Milford can piss off, I'm done with him. Only way I'd keep Milford around is if he was willing to sign for 400k. At a million, no thank you. I'd rather keep the squad spot empty at that price and front load some contracts.
Yep, I'm sorry I want to love the guy I really do, he lives not far from me and I've bumped into him in public a couple of times, and he comes across as a perfectly good natured, introverted, soft spoken young man, but sadly Milf is out of time. For the coin he is on, he is just nowhere near good enough. That really is the end of the argument.
He is not worth a million dollars, and in retrospect that contract was not as smart as a few of us thought (putting my hand up). At the time we had perfectly good reason to believe Milf was going to be a superstar. We were expecting him to run the length once or twice every 2nd week, and it just hasn't eventuated. And I think 4 years is plenty of time to prove you're that footballer.
Blame Bennett for coaching his best aspects right out of him all you want, at that time we desperately needed an organizing halfback (we kinda still do), and the mistake we made was choosing to make Milford that man rather than going to market to look for someone who can let him throw the shackles off. That was always the problem:
we were never going to replace Locky from within. Locky was a once in a generation footballer. You don't get two of those coming out of your own system in such a short time. We should have thrown a lot more money at someone like DCE when he was clearly having contract trouble. Despite how it ultimately turned out,
why was it the Titans in the frame to pick him up and not us?
