Milford has enourmous talent. I'll go out on a limb and say he's not near Hunt in terms of attacking threat, yet.
The shift from a very low profile club (Canberra) where you've got one or two big games a year that anyone in the broader rugby league community actually cares about to the Broncos where you are in the spotlight every Friday night, at the biggest team in the competition, and where every club steps up to play the Broncos under the Friday night lights.
He's chipping away, improving. Settling in. I actually think the special efforts he's made in defence on a couple of occasions (obviously I'm not talking about the Morgan try) are the most promising sign of his committment and effort.
He's not going to get the "caught unaware" opportunities in nothing games that he got at the Raiders or that he got playing fullback either.
He's developing a nice combination with Glenn and his short kicking game has only been let down by our kick support or a couple of unlucky bounces here or there.
Where's he's going to come into his own is a genuine second option to Hunt. Just when you think you've got Hunt wrapped up, there's Milford converting that next play into a linebreak or try.
The final piece is Boyd (or Kahu continuing to develop - or Hodges when fit) to add that third dimension to our attack. And then add Macca organising it all properly (maybe too much of a request) and reinvigorating his running and dummying game and you've got the best spine in the game right there.
