[OFFICIAL] Anthony Milford to Broncos

[M.B.88]

I still would prefer Karmichael Hunt. This is his chance to nominate his interest otherwise we go with Milford. KArmichael is more of a leader and leadership is what we've been missing.

This is great news however. Puts us fanboys in a better position knowing things are getting closer to having a 5/8.

 

[Danoz Direct]

No we need young gun like milford not a afl defector that isn't even a five-eight.

Trust me...he will be able to play 5/8. Plus, Hunt is still young! and at the point where a switch back to NRL is his best option! He's too old for AFL, but perfect age to be a gun again in League. Ask yourself....would you prefer him back at the Broncos if he does come back? Or see him at another club?

It looks it to me. I don't need a quote or an article to form uninformed opinion.

Too true

 

[Jason Simmons]

So now the forum wants Milford again?

I always did want him, but I'll happily take Milford or Karmichael to play 5/8th for us in the absence of any other credible A grade option, plus a confirmed 5/8th purchase for either of these two means Hook will have to play Barba at fullback as he should and Hoffy will just have to suck it up and be happy with wing/centre barring injury, or if he cracks the sads and leaves we go with Vidot/Copley/Oates as needed.

Good times whichever way it works out! (Though my preferred Broncs backline would have Hoffy on the left wing).

1. Barba.
2. Hoffman / Copley / Oates.
3. Reed / Copley / Mills.
4. Hodges / Vidot / Mills.
5. JYY / Vidot / Mills.
6. Milford / KHunt.
7. BHunt.

Plenty of options there and plenty of injury coverage.

 

[Danoz Direct]

I still think Milford is our best option as a specialist half. We are looking to the future not the past.

 

[Manbush]

With whatever the clause is he's not making it look very important by being in England for 6weeks, if he's so concerned about his dads immediate health he'd be in Brisbane rather than the opposite side of the world, if it does go to court you'd think this would work against him.

 

[Socnorb]

Assuming the clause says what YOU want.

That's easy
another club and preferably Titans as I cannot stand them

 

[Manbush]

What could the clause be that traveling to the other side of the world for 6weeks wouldn't make it look bad? That's why I said whatever the clause in case all the info about it being in regards to his dads health deteriorating is false.

 

[Broncoman]

Has a club ever forced a player to sit out a season before?

Dragons made Gorden Tallis sit out 1996.

 

[broncos4life]

Look brad it's either homesickness or he just plain hates your club, so whichever you prefer champ :)

Haha doesn't worry me mate I've said all along he'll probably be a Bronco, just talking about the relevance of the clause and likelihood of it standing up to a legal challenge which unless the Raiders back down is what's likely to happen, whether its Ayoub taking Raiders to court or potentially Raiders taking the NRL to court for not upholding a legal contract

Gordie chose to sit out rather than play for them

But you don't know the inference or the wording of said clause. You have concocted a scenario based on your desires in your mind Bushman . You don't have the facts.

Why would the Raiders even bother with court?, they will either ask for a substantial compensation amount or if they stand on a principle, just tell him to play at Souths Logan so he stays a Raider and lives up here until he is a free agent.

No breach of contract there.

Maybe legal action gives you a better chance to get more than the pound of flesh on offer
