Milford's kicking game is atrocious for a starting half, let alone one on a million a year. His game management is also nonexistent, and it's probably related to his instinct to run and inability to kick.

He needs a genuine halfback. Good thing we signed Bird to play lock....

That was a penalty try every day of the week. And you saying it wasn`t makes you sound like you don`t know anything about rugby league
It was a penalty try every day of the week except against the dragons. It's one of the less well known by-laws of the game.

You don't know that and call yourself a rugby league supporter? Disgraceful.

Congrats on the win tonight. I thought your big three were a bit shaky, it almost seems like Cronk's departure has them a bit rattled. Rest of the team really stood up and your spine found their rhythm eventually. Can't see the roosters or cowboys beating you guys next week.

Oh, and f**k Bill Harrigan.

That was clinical.
Broncos had us a few times in that first half but there was no way to break us down.
Bad luck Broncos, but we were far too good

Why? We got back under the cap without having to lose them. I must have missed the nrl rule that says every player becomes a free agent if you cheat the cap and you have to start with a new squad.
Might stop cheating if that was the rule. Suggest it to the Turd.

Stopping play for a concussed Oates and Thaiday when he had a cramp despite Penrith being in possession on both occasions and not stopping play when Wallace was concussed and when Tyrone May did his ACL when Brisbane were in possession.

You know, just your typical contradicting bullshit that 'coincidentally' goes Brisbane's way.
You're dreaming. Stopping the play when Oates was injured was the right decision and the refs have been instructed to do this when a player is obviously out cold. Wallace copped a falcon and was forced to leave the ground by a trainer. Not even remotely the same as Oates being knocked out.

Considering he was playing behind a pack that got monstered in the second half to be honest I thought Milford went alright tonight.

The pack did more than enough for 60 mins mate. The Broncs had a shit load of possession up till then too.

He needs to be a hell of a lot better for a million a season.

A concussion is a concussion and to put stopping play down to one looking worse is terrible practice.

Especially when it obviously wasn't put down to that, rather which team each player was playing for.

To give this a serious answer, not really, hes shown what he can do.

BUT... hes not the type to be charged with running the show. Weak kicking when not close to the line and plays more for himself, the offload or outside backs when linking with Boyd, rather than actually directing the overall attack. He needs the right 7 and 9 around him to organise and Niko and Hunt aren't and haven't provided that.

The snowball effect of McCullough's injury can't be understated IMO.

So just find a couple more halves and hope they are the answer?

This is going to sound bitter coming from me (because my team just got pumped) but what exactly did you cop?

You were able to keep 3 of the best players in the world, should've been forced to completely re-assemble the squad, you're still benefiting even to this day
We got rid of basically half our team, including Greg Inglis. We had the biggest penalty in the history of the game. We were not given the right to get under the cap in 2010 like parra last year and had to play 20 odd games for nothing. But yeah we totally copped nothing

I don't really laugh, I just Well up knowing there is some fractured old bat at centrelink who has to deal with this clown every fortnight.

Everyone else on the planet can just give him the wide berth he deserves.

Poor Cheryl.
what happens at centrelink?

They sure get their moneys worth out of the Rent-A-Crowd.
Storm home average this year: 15,647, Penrith: 14,087 so roughly 1,600 below each home game for your mob in what is meant to be a rugby league heartland and one of, if not the the biggest RL nurseries for juniors in the game. Enjoy your off season dickhead lol

Million dollar Milf missing again tonight. Zero points from the attacking genius.

Bronc's fans worried about this bloke yet?
Maybe if he plays like that after his shoulder reconstruction.

Should have signed with the Storm, he would've dominated in a structured side instead he gets the ball flat-footed most of the time at the Broncos.
