Milne gone to Tigers

[Old Timer]

you cant be serious! Lafai is in the top 3 centres on form in the NRL now just as Widdop is the form player of the NRL as stated by the leading media pundits...you have to accept the facts my friend..

OK maybe I got that wrong

 

[denis preston]

You will find the Dragons will be in a tussle w Gold Coast for TUPOU from roosters

Where do you get this stuff from ?

OT isn't big on the facts once he has made his mind up.
Nah, dugan isn't injury prone, thats a myth....besides the FACT that he misses a chunk of games EVERY season through injury

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

As for Milne if true then its exactely how I thought this would pan out......yes weve won 5 out of 6 and yes Lafai has found some form (whilst I wouldnt say its brilliant) but its a shame that imo we may lose a very promising asset to 1st grade...hope it doesnt happen but if we get a run of injuries like Cowboys, Titans etc then we will be scratching for quality replacements....

Laf

lafai in the top 3 centres in the NRL this year easily

April 1st has already gone mate

Milward should be sacked if we do not re sign Milne. Milne should have been the first centre chosen for us this year.

But in reserve grade this year he has struggled to make an impact?
Please.

 

[SaintElroy]

Is Milward the new whipping boy now that Mary is getting a rest?

 

[epDragon62]

Milne looks like a world beater but he hasn't shown that this year. I think I read he missed 5 tackles in 13 mins last week...

Lafai continues to cop crap but he is firing very nicely now and seems to be getting better.

 

[coast_dragons]

The club has alot of promising outside backs coming through Herbert, Lomax, Marsters, Johns and Gillard.

Milne if gone won't be the last to be let go.

Please.

Why wouldn't he be dejected? He was by far the best centre we had last year, yet he didn't get a start and Aitken was re-signed in front of him.
It's not the right way to react by totally understandable!

 

[Smack]

Source?

 

[Forster Dragon]

Happy to see Milne go if we retain the rest.

 

[Michaeldragonslife25]

Proved last year he was the best centre at the club but was treated like shit so good luck to him on moving to the Tigers I expect Mann and Havali to make similar moves and Leave the club

Milne should have been the first centre chosen. He should not have even been in reserve grade. I see him as the best centre at our club and the best center prospect that we have had since Gasnier. I have not seen Herbert or Garrick to comment on them.

If you get dropped to reserve grade your supposed to try even harder to get back into first grade, its a test of character. When Lafai was dropped he trained the house down which gave him the chance to be back in first grade and since then he's taken the opportunity running.

I'm one of Milne's biggest fans but him 'not trying' in reserve grade doesn't help his chances getting back into first grade.

Look I am sure he will go well at another club. I just don't think that he is a massive loss. We have aitken, lafai, mann and maybe dodd all capable of doing as well a job as milne.
I say clam down and move on.
Remember the forum being completely obsessed with signing luciano leilua otherwise millward should be sacked, ra ra ra.
Those same people are saying leilua is overweight and nowhere near 1st grade? Huh?

Milne is far from the best centre prospect the club has and I have seen Herbert and Garrick play and in time will make an impact at NRL level.

Young Lomax is far and away the best outside back prospect the club has had in years he was chased by quite a few clubs and they managed to keep him.

Havili has played well but isn't a great loss they have Robson coming through and after him young Purcell so dummy half is covered in that department.

When Mary selected Aikten and Lafai ahead of Milne, that showed me that Mary is not up to NRL coaching. I still wonder if there are people behind the scenes who have a lot more say and influence over team selections than Mary does?
