FFS ... do you have to try and turn every positive comment on this forum into something negative (while bringing Griffin into the discussion)

Yes, it's a thing of beauty to watch isn't it ?
Hodgo did the same in Origin 3 to put Guerra over for a try.

Well I am even more excited to see a spine of Macca, Hunt, Milford and Barba next year after watching those highlights!

My colon literally contracted a bit at that thought.

Haha yeah.
That is a fucking great spine, and the more exciting thing is how young they all are. With the right negotiations etc. this could be the backbone of our team for the next decade.
It's quiet amazing in the space of 2 years we have gone from having arguably the worst spine in the comp to one of the best.

Agreed!
Though this is just on paper. Barba hasn't been a great fullback for us so far and they need to be allowed to play in a way that suits their games. I'm hopeful but certain factors could ruin it.
FTFY
Milford was unreal. He's got the timing, the vision, he's got the passing, he's got the speed, footwork like the best of them, he's got it all.
He is a "dynamic" player though in these sense that what I've seen of him so far, he thrives in the unstructured, second or third phase play, where he can beat a man (or two) one on one and set up his outside men.
Griffin-ball is the opposite; arm-wrestle the other team into their 20 and either bomb it or run the Wayne Bennet 2005-2011 Karmichael Hunt play out the back (or these days, hope for a Ben Hunt line break).
Query whether the Broncos should run with a similar "dynamic" player like Nikorima in the 6 for the next few months in preparation for Milford.
Hoffman just killing the ball 2 hands off the ruck is shit house however you look at it.

Ive brought this up a few times and generally get shot down for it. The broncos structure, as it is, will stifle Milford and ruin his career. We need to change our gameplay to accomodate him, and at the same time it should bring out the best in barba. Will we do it? Thats the question !
I hate to play hypotheticals but a decent number 6 would be getting a lot more out of Barba, especially as this season has worn on and Barba gets some match fitness and puts some decent displays together.
It boils down to whether you want Barba feeding Milford the other way around.
