The Wayne Bennett Super thread!

[Ari Gold]

Excuse me? Point to me where in that quote I said anything about the position he was bought here to play?

It was inferred because you agreed with the post that brought up this argument and added further to the argument. At least that is how I read it. If I misinterpreted, then I apologise to you, but maintain the argument itself is bogus.

To clarify where the inference came from:

Milford was signed as a 5/8. Even if Boyd didn't sign Milfird still wouldn't be fullback. Therefore Boyd has no effect on Ash Taylor.

That post basically implies that Milford was signed to play five-eight only and even in the absence of Boyd, Milford should not be a fullback option. Then you quoted that post and added:

And this right here is why this argument has gotten ridiculous and circular.

Boyd has no impact on taylor joining the side, but he is thrown in there to justify what a mistake signing boyd was in some people's opinion.

I read this as support for The Shed's argument, which is what I consider to be bogus. Like I said, maybe I misread it, but it came off to me as though you were backing up The Shed's position.

There is no way Milf is the highest paid player at the club. That may be basing that figure on the money the Raiders were throwing at him to stay after he signed with us but he turned that money down and I just can't see the Broncos being that desperate to pay him $900k to hold off the Raiders.

 

[redbur95]

Don't forget that the Broncos signed Milford in late 2013, after which the Raiders offered him bigger contracts for eight months. Canberra offered him $1M because it was far more than what the Broncos could hope to offer him, as good as he is/was, not 10% more.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Milf is on $450K over two years if you believe reports at the time.

Money is not an over-riding concern. Milford's two-year Broncos deal is worth around $450,000 a season, meaning he has sacrificed in excess of $1 million to leave Canberra.

"My No.1 goal is to come back home and look after my parents," said Milford, who sought to trigger an illness clause relating to father Halo's health in August.

Boom rookie Anthony Milford says he's told Canberra he won't play for the club in 2014

 

[Foordy]

Milford is on more money than Inglis? Someone send the auditors down to Souffs

Don't forget GI accepts barter for his services as well.

I should point out that I never said I agreed with the logic, just that in the eyes of the administration Boyd's presence has no bearing on Taylor's future.

If I were to share my personal opinion id say that Milford is a better half than Taylor (and I predict that by the time ash develops Milford would have also developed to a point where he's still far better than Ash).

I also believe that Milford is just as useful at 5/8 as he was at fullback though he has taken time to adjust which was to be expected.

It's also my opinion that Boyd is a far better player than Ash, and that a spine of Macca, Hunt, Milford, Boyd is a far suppior spine than any alternative with Ash Taylor. Boyd is the best fullback in our squad and i believe our game vs manly proved that.

That's all just my opinion though.

All aboard!

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Full credit to Bennett though, getting Milford from where he started against Souffs in Round 1 to now where he is close to the form 5/8th in the comp is a marvel. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Locky and Walters had a lot to do with it as well. It is becoming more and more clear that in a few years, Milf is going to be a force to be reckoned with.

Apparently he turned down help from Lockyer.

But Hunt revealed that they both have been getting help from Walters and Langer.

 

[heartly87]

I think the not wanting help from locky was a move to stop the next locky stuff. He wants to be his own man. He wants his success or failure to be his own. Could you imagine if he was under locky tutelage. The media would be talking more about locky then milf. I respect this.

 

[theshed]

Is that even the case though? I find it pretty hard to believe.

It'd make more sense that Lockyer just isn't in the halves coaching role. I vaguely remember locky saying he won't be doing much with Milf but if he has questions he would be happy to help.

Edit: whelp I quick google search proves that I'm wrong.
