I think if he got injured, Penrith would miss him more then every other player.

The big difference is Tesi isn't a fat lunk on $1 million a year who refuses to take ownership of his role in the team. He's a kid playing the toughest position on the field, who's busting his guts in training, wants to be better, but has not (yet) developed the game awareness and a couple of the crucial skills to be the fullback we need. We've already replaced him.
Tesi might be on the rise; he might have hit a ceiling. No one is planning to poach him for a million dollars. But Milford circled the drain as we fell from premiership contenders to wooden spooners. He deserved a good chuck of the blame. Thank **** he's gone.

If they were on the same amount, I would prefer Milford in our current team over Tesi and it isn’t close.
Not defending Milford at all but it’s all relative
Before anyone mentions Mam, of course I’d prefer Mam but if I had to squeeze 1 of either Milford or Tesi into our 17 - Milford would be the least detrimental imo

The big difference is that when Milford got that $1 million a year contract, he was light years away of what Tesi will ever be, because you don't acquire or learn the skills he lacks. That's why no one is knocking at the door for him, much less on a million.
The discussion about Milford has been done over and over again. He's certainly to blame for folding under the pressure, but it's a pressure he should've have never put under to start with, and there's only one person to blame for that.

Broncos fullback Te Maire Martin returned from a rib injury via Wynnum Manly in Queensland Cup and showed exactly why he’s set to be recalled into the NRL side this week. Martin scored a try, set up another, got two linebreaks, two linebreak assist and ran for 155 metres, although he did miss five tackles.

If you look at the highlights te Marie was pretty poor in defence, out of position and a general lack of urgency

Whaaa !
Couldn`t be . He`s the defensive rock who is always in position , has more urgency than a cardiac arrest and communicates better than any other #1 in the NRL .
Must have got a head knock ?

lol if you watch the actual game he was brilliant in defence. Organising the line with great nuance.
One his “misses” was him perfectly covering an overlap on the line, getting his body in front of a much bigger man and dropping his shoulder into the midsection allowing cover defence to prevent a certain try.
The full replay is on Kayo for anyone who cares to not look like an idiot

5 missed tackles ?
He must have played a helluva game if he could miss 5 tackles and still be brilliant in defence .
