The Wests Tigers are reportedly set to make a stunning play for Brisbane Broncos superstar Anthony Milford.
Less than 24-hours into the NRL free market period, The Sydney Morning Herald reports the Tigers could make an immediate play for Milford if the Broncos decide to release their marquee man.
The Tigers have gone from managing a tight cap to having cash to the hilt after medically retiring Ben Matulino and letting Esan Marsters and Ryan Matterson depart.
The Tigers are wary of past mistakes and don't want to pay 'overs' for players who aren't at their best, but the Tigers view Milford as someone who can strike from the back and transition into a No.6 when Benji Marshall retires.
Outside of Milford, the Tigers' have a hefty list including Dragons Luciano Leilua and Zac Lomax and Titans duo AJ Brimson and Jai Arrow all on their radar.
The Broncos are known to be managing a tight salary cap after re-signing Matt Lodge and Tevita Pangai Junior this year to multi-year contracts.
David Fifita is yet to re-sign and Darius Boyd is rumoured to be on a deal worth around $800,000 per season, making it a tricky situation for the Broncos.
Anthony Milford endured a roller coaster year in 2019. Switching from five-eighth to fullback, the Broncos star struggled to find form and was overlooked for Queensland selection.
Meanwhile, he Warriors who are reportedly preparing to table a $3.5 million offer to Melbourne forward Tino Faasuamaleaui. The deal is rumoured to be $700,000 for up to five years.
It will prove a huge gamble with the young star only featuring in five games since his debut in Round 16 against this Dragons.
The Warriors are also eyeing David Fifita and would be willing to offer the gun forward up to $1 million per season to seal the deal.
