Blake Austin is a better 5/8 than Anthony Milford & Mitchell Moses

I like Austin but Milford is twice the player he is. Milford is in the top 5 players in the game right now and may be a once in a generation type player. Foxsports just ranked him number 1 in the game, although a little pre-mature I think.

The hype for milford is a bit over the top. He is a good young player but has shown in the last month or so he is susceptible to poor performances like any young player. Not in the top 5 or even top 10 but certainly near the top of best young players in the game.

Hard to say Johnson is better than anyone week in, week out.
If there is one thing that the Warriors are good at, it's inconsistency.

Also whilst most of those players are way, way ahead for their careers, I wouldn't say they are all having better years. Even if Milford has been meh most recently.

Are better week in, week out.

For starters Johnson has had what 4 good games this year at best and is criticized for his inconsistency, Burgess has been a shadow of his former self this year and well down on form, or it could be the fact he is no longer playing in amongst such a dominant forward pack anymore, Morgan has been alright, not nearly as good as he was last year, Graham is an over rated thug these days...

Milford has had maybe half a dozen bad games since round 1 in 2015, 4 of those recently, not a bad effort for someone so young. I wouldn't have Milford as the best player in the comp right now, he doesn't have the same game management skills or leadership skills that someone like say Thurston or Smith have that comes with experience, but that will come. In terms of ability and what he creates on the field, he is already up there with those guys and any attacking player in the comp, easily. While not number 1 yet, he is definitely top 5 and it won't be long before he will be clearly number 1 easily, even before the likes of Thurston and Smith retire.

Tbh you could put a reserve grader in Milfords position and he'd be made to look a star... How the fuuck can you not look good in a team full of rep players.

That sack of shit Mitchell Piss was looking like a world beater in that all conquering roosters outfit in previous years, when it came to origin... Well you know what happened.

Even Jackson Hastings was looking really good last year and now in reserve grade because he's sh1t without those big guns around him.

As a half it should not be that hard playing behind that forward pack in Canberra

I love when people argue against their own point. Rarely though, do they do it in the same post...

Bromwich
Scott
Graham
Foran
Tamou
Gillett

Granted some of these are forwards and its not a fair comparison but theres at least 4 halves in there that are better without mentioning people like johnson or dce who havent had the best seasons thus far.

I dont see why brisbane fans need to big him up, its clear hes a good young player thats going to get better, isnt that enough, or does making him the 2nd coming of jesus help you sleep at night?

Maloney is not a better player than Milford

Yeah he is, warriors went to shit when he left, roosters went to shit when he left, currently leading the sharks who are top of the table, won grand finals etc...

Milford may become a better player than him in time, but to say milford is already better is simply not true no matter how much you want it to be.
