Homesick Canberra Raiders youngster Anthony Milford eyes Brisbane Broncos move

[Lord Funkington]

The GH may need a filter to remove any references to Milford possibly staying by June 30... Might be a tough one though!

[godofcheese]

I thought his father was too sick to travel to Canberra, and Canberra didn't have the medical facilities to care for him. That's why they can't move down here.

Wasn't that the whole reason for trying to activate the sick-father clause?

I've got to admit, mainstream media outlets probably won't turn against us like I originally thought. Still, I'm just so over hearing about this kid, I'd prefer he buggered off before we start our season. That said, I'm starting to see a lot of merit in those who are saying we should stand firm on this issue.

All the bad press is coming from one source. No prizes for guessing

Yep, seems the only people falling for the tear jerk guilt trip stories are Bronco supporters

[1992]

I am really burned out from this season. Barely cared when my **** brother sent me a picture message of Milford joining his beloved Brisbane.

Enjoy horsey rides from mummy and daddy you little ****.

[Bullraider]

I say let his parents move here then name him for mounties every week.

Or once they've moved send him to Logan

nasty

But funny.

He was pretty much here for every home game last year. Too sick to travel my ass.

I guess it was only a matter of time before dubbs came out

Well to be fair, I have that effect on most people

Time for NRL to halt Broncos questionable recruitment tactics
Phil Rothfield

They signed superstar fullback Ben Barba because he was unhappy at the Bulldogs.

They tried to sign boom rookie Anthony Milford because he's apparently unhappy at the Raiders.

There is huge concern in the game about the Broncos talking to under-contract players.

It's time for Dave Smith to put a stop their very questionable recruitment methods.

[Dr Zaius]

Good to see their tactics being questioned.

[Manbush]

Without any hard evidence though all there is is circumstantial evidence and the NRL will just ignore it but its at least good that they are being painted the bad guys in this rather than the Raiders, so far anyway.

[RedRaider]

What is happening to the world? I am in agreement with Rothfield on this subject and also the first part of the blog about player safety. I need a wash.

If it can be proved that there has been any kind of player inducement to break a valid contract, then the Club involved should see similar financial penalties to the Storm salary cap rort.

[Green eyed Mick]

Brisbanes grubby tactics aside. Andrew Gee would have to be a little concerned with news that the Milfords will relocate to Canberra for 2014.

I wonder what the Brisbane press will try this week?

I think Andrew Gee would be absolutely confident that he has this one 100% in the bag.

Early on in the piece there was talk of a substantial bonus if he could get out early.

[Green eyed Mick]

Admittedly it is a long shot but 6 months (until round 13) is a long time and I would imagine the Raiders won't give up trying to change his mind.

[tubs]

Some of you guys are blowing your trumpets to much at Milford.

At the end of the day football is a business for both parties,Milford wants to go play for brisbane so be it, once his contract is up he can do what ever he wants some of you guys are taking it to personally.The contact talks have got a bit out of hand but Milford pretty much made it clear half way through the season that he wants to go to broncos sooner or later.

He is a young kid with a very bright future in front of him and I hope he does well at the broncos because this season he was the only bright note on our season and he gave it his all in every game some thing I can not say from some other of the favourite players on this forum.

[Raidersrawesome]

Once he becomes a Bronco I will not be cheering him and like the rest of the Bronco players I hope they fail

I know your upset but no need to take it out on the boy,when he has been on the football pitch he has always given it his all.

He will be a Bronco , it's not personal .

Spot on, if he by some miracle is in green in 2014 and performs I will cheer him on but as soon as he starts performing like he's not tryin or puts on the Broncos jersey then not a hope in hell.

[Captain Punish]

I will not support him eitherway, I wish him well and a healthy career, but he can **** off now..

[Green eyed Mick]

The Raiders won't let him go. So everyone better gets used to seeing Milford in Raiders colours.

One can wish for a miracle..

[Zip Zip]

And those with the faint hope that he will change his mind before June 30, I wouldn't hold your breath. If he is in lime green come round one next year, I think he will still get a pretty hostile reception. Hardly going to endear him to the Raiders and encourage him to renege.

[T_R]

I think the incentives offered by the Broncos will be more than sufficient to ensure that Milford is on the first plane home as soon as he is legally able.

Perhaps the only hope that this will not be the case is if the NRL grows a pair and actually investigates the nature of the Bronco's recruitment.

Exactly

[Green eyed Mick]

Hopefully the Milfords continue to extort money from the Bronco scum. EDIT

Lol... Ohh really...

This is what one delusional Bronco's fan had to say in a CM propaganda, I mean article

Brisbane local players returning to the Broncos are not poached. The club trailed a period of trying to keep young players and it is not working, we have to re-buy the farm and get on with it, Cherry-Evans should also be playing for a Queensland club. Why should Sydney clubs benefit from Queensland players while our clubs are struggling to even keep fans.

It is not working and the club need s a change of attitude. If that means buying back the farm, then so be it.

Superstars put Bums-on-seats. Brisbane lacks true superstars, every other clubs has plenty.

Broncos own all Queenslanders, get it? They are theirs for the taking.

I think it means they are buying back our farm. Maybe that's why McIntyre quit.
