I draw the line at animal sacrifice. Perhaps just inserting animals into the live sex shows would be a happy medium?
That's a way better idea than Guy Sebastian. How awkward was having the preshow entertainment at half time the other night?
It's interesting you bring up Lockyer because I get the impression that people think he was shifted to fullback with a view to develop him as a five eighth down the track and I don't think that's necessarily the case. I think the transition to five eighth was still in the cards, but the move wasn't made to develop him there, rather the Broncos needed somebody to fill in the fullback role and Lockyer was the man for the job.
As I said, I see both sides but for the time being I'm willing to support the experiment and give it the benefit of the doubt.
Benji Marshall was vigorously defending Milf at 6 and putting it to Kent that he's being judged on one game, and the fact milf grew up as a 5/8 and only moved to fullback at raiders. Spot on IMO
Growing up as a 5/8th means nothing, its completely different than FG. They just put people there to "get more ball", no creativity or playmaking involved at all.
We are never going to develop a proper 5/8 if we don't give them a chance to settle in and by a chance I mean a full season at least. **** me, we gave Corey Norman a full season at 5/8 so how come people are so quick to say put Milford back to fullback after one game. Its not like Milford is 34 and needs to be successful right now in the position or we develop another player. He is 19 for **** sakes. Give the kid some time to adjust to the position and then maybe we can evaluate him at round 26
Not that it makes a difference for whether he should be at the back or in the halves, but Milford is almost 21, not 19.
We don't need to develop a proper 5/8th, we should be focusing on getting an actual 5/8th and bringing them in instead of trying to turn a fullback into a 5/8th.We are never going to develop a proper 5/8 if we don't give them a chance to settle in and by a chance I mean a full season at least. **** me, we gave Corey Norman a full season at 5/8 so how come people are so quick to say put Milford back to fullback after one game.

People are forgetting that Lockyer was just slightly better than a turnstile in defence at the back for his first few years. He ended his fullback run as one of the best. Slaters defence was also questioned, especially here on bhq, and again, one of the best ever now. Milford is 19, his defence is bound to improve. Now it has to improve much quicker and much more than at fb though.

We have brought in a 5/8. Milford!
Milford played all his juniors in the halves and was earmarked very early on as a future star - in the halves!
He got his shot in first grade at fullback and did brilliantly. But, his best spot is 5/8.
For the love of God can we please give the kid a chance to find his feet? Much better judges of rugby league than any of us think he can do it, so let's please give him some time. It would also be helpful for Milf if the pack steps up and gets us on the front foot so he can show us what he can do!
Josh Hoffman played his junior footy in the halves ... doesn't mean shit when it comes to his best position in the NRL
