[OFFICIAL] Anthony Milford to Broncos

[broncos4life]

Raiders just upped the ante

Canberra Raiders in $1 million a year bid to stop Anthony Milford joining Brisbane Broncos | News.com.au


wow you guys have supposedly offered $600k including a massive deal if he joins next year

And you have apparently offered a million, that article is rubbish

 

[Manbush]

That can't be right yes he is really talented but they not worth that much at this stage of his career, anyway they wouldn't have the salary cap.

Cap increasing and Berrigan gone, Williams, Thompson, Dugan, Fergusson, Picker and a couple more plus maybe marquee player allowance.

 

[Danoz Direct]

Did Ricky Stuart say anywhere on that article that they would pay 1 million a year.

 

[Big Pete]

Do you believe everything you read Bushman?

The whole thing has been a media circus, I doubt the articles truly reflect what's going on behind the scenes.

"I’m sick of seeing our kids developed and taught how to play the game in Canberra and then poached by people who can’t develop," Stuart said.

I didn't think I could dislike him more than I did. But now I do. What an idiot.

Blatant hypocrisy from Stuart. I think a good share of the Raiders promising young guns are recruited from Brisbane (I know one of them) and around Sydney. Think before you speak.

Everyone thinks we're over the salary cap and would have no money left to spend on buying new players. Joe Bond, Jordan Drew, Liam Georgetown, Denan Kemp, Brendon Gibb, Lachlan Maranta, Nick Slyney, Jarrod Wallace, Aaron Whitchurch, Scott Anderson, Kurt Baptiste, Dale Copley, Mitchell Dodds, Cameron Cullen, Luke Dalziel-Don, Chris McLean, Francis Molo, Caleb Timu are all off contract and we have lost Delroy Berryman, Luke Capewell, Dunamis Lui, Corey Norman, Scott Prince, Lama Tasi and Peter Wallace. How is it impossible for us to sign a few players and stay under a rising salary cap? It isnt. We could easily afford to offer Milford that much but I doubt we will.

Haha considering what's been believed on this forum and I've been shot down for disagreeing (and ended up being correct) no I don't, though Ricky is known for making ridiculously huge offers and his ties to Kent and Ayoub makes it plausible.

 

[Waynesaurus]

Sticky Ricky is off his nut..............they can keep him for a $1 million.

Good to see Sticky Ricky is doing his best to carry on the Furner legacy of destroying the Raiders .

 

[Big Pete]

Kent's history of baseless and sensationalist journalism also contradicts it.

Grain of salt really.

How many of those players would've been outside your top 25 (meaning irrelevant to the cap) and how many of the rest were near minimum wage, even Prince was on a paltry $150k wasn't he?

 

[Danoz Direct]

With the salary cap upgrade we have plenty of room.

 

[Foordy]

since we apparently are not allowed to talk to him until November 1, how we offer him a contract of 600k

 

[broncos4life]

If they have offered him a million why make it public.

A) it proves they have have lost their fucking mind

B) if he turns around and leaves (which is still a massive chance of happening) you have basically let it be known that a teenager has turned down a million dollars a year to get away from your shit stain of a club

 

[Foordy]

How many of those players would've been outside your top 25 (meaning irrelevant to the cap) and how many of the rest were near minimum wage, even Prince was on a paltry $150k wasn't he?

that was because the Titans were picking up about half his wage

Sarcasm? Think Milf would've said he would not be returning to Canberra if he hasn't been offered a contract size?

 

[Manbush]

Yeah knew that mate, was just about cap space he was opening up.

 

[Danoz Direct]

If the story about telling his cousin he would not be returning is true then he will sign with the broncos.

 

[Foordy]

Yeah knew that mate, was just about cap space he was opening up.

the cap space we have available in part is due to two significant cap increases and the fact that we haven't signed anyone of significance.

we get Barba next season on the approx 350k he was on at the bulldogs, (and we lose Wallace who was on that money)

On Milf, Gee would have told Ayoub that they want Milford (which is with in the rules) and the fact that we are lacking established playmakers and have said publicly we are in the market for one, would mean that Ayoub would know (unless he is an idiot) that he will be able to negotiate a good contract for Milford.
