[Official] - Milford signs with Broncos

Or that TPDs (or the opportunity, at least) go a fair way to making up the difference. There's also the rep opportunities that come with playing for the Broncos. Friday night FTA games definitely gives you much more market exposure.

At the end of the day, I choose to live near family and in the paradise of QLD weather, awesome people, laid back lifestyle and some of the best beaches in the world and earn okay money rather than live in buttfuck and rake it in at the mines. Money does not buy happiness or time with your family, especially in the short term with the threat of losing your father. My father and Milford's have been through the same heart problems in a similar timespan, so I can fully understand his motivations.

BTW, big kudos to those of you working your asses off in fly in fly out situations. You are setting up your family and I fully respect that. If you were 19 and your beloved father had a dodgy ticker (a relative timebomb) and your beautiful girlfriend was here in brisbane, would you agree that these factors might influence you to forego the money to be closer to those that you love?

I'm one of those FIFOs and totally agree with you Soupy, if you have a young family or a family with issues that are best served with you home then you don't spend time away. NO-ONE lays on their deathbed saying ' I wish I had one more jet ski or bought that investment property '.....all we think of in that situation is family and friend. Milford probably hasn't given up 500 k, his deal at Brisbane may have tpa's and be heavily back ended with extra incentives should he play SOO or tests or both.

Love this post, I'd take money over happiness every time. Put it this way, I'd take a pay cut to get a job I enjoy more.
 
for some reason i have more of a belief hes moved with us just because his gf is in brisbane. dont get me wrong the other factors would of helped but i think the final push would be her. judging buy twitter responses thas been posted from him. he seems pretty madly in love with her atm constantly saying he misses her etc. and lets be honest shes an absolute stunner and and hes at such a young age still we all know how strong love feels at that age.

she also doesnt look like the type of girl who would want to be in canberra.

Milford may take a pay cut now but his next contract will be HUGE. He will get massive coin if he develops as he should. No way could we have DCE and Milford at the club on their huge deals moving forward. It just can't happen.

We don't.

If Hunt keeps developing the way he is, and Milford develops into the player we all think he will be, then we will have a premiership winning halves combination right there.

if they both live to there potential definatly. i just hope we fans are not to quick to jump on milfords back if he doesnt kill it in 5/8th next year he will need time to gel there and his defense will definatly need to improve. there has been a hell of a lot of young players who were crowned the next big thing only to fizzle out. so its still early days.

in saying that though he cant possible do any worse then hoffman. as long as ben hunt still takes control of the side and lets milford ease his way into the position over the course of next year i think we will be sweet.

I didn't really like some of the dirty hits put on Milford yesterday. Especially the Moose hit and I think Reed bashed him a bit in a tackle. Yeah it is football but it seemed as if they were out there to hurt him as some sort of welcome to the Broncos 2015.

It was a bit mean-spirited, but really, he's all they have in attack and our guys wouldn't be doing their job if they weren't pressuring him. His three errors in the first half shows that it worked.
 
That supposed late/high shot Moose put on him was a joke.

Should never have been reported for that
