Yeah but it's over. Nobody likes losing highly rated players plus it was handled very poorly to the point it derailed the raiders season. It's certainly understandable that raiders fans were filthy. Just as bulldog fans were with the way the barba situation went down. Fans just want to watch players go out and play. They don't want this bullshit nonsense about player movement completely sinking a season. That's beyond lame.

The raiders were potentially looking at making the 8 before the milford sags started and didn't win a single game from that point onwards. How is that good for anyone really.

Thank goodness.
At least the Raiders can move on now. Hopefully we see Ahearn into the starting side as of tomorrow.

Milford can play out his days at souths logan close to home.

Milford and Barba in the same team will be a disaster for Brisbane. It will provide for great entertainment.

I'm just trying to picture the likes of Taumalolo, Hurrell, Mau and Boyd Cordner running at Milfy on the fringes. Hilarious.

We'll probably end up looking like bums again judging by the way Barba and Kennedy are going.

At least he's getting used to hidings under a shit coach, should be a seamless transition.

Totally agree. You can have one of them, two will be a disaster.

Hunt and Milford in the halves, 2 of the more exciting players rising through the ranks in the comp

The way things are going Griffin wont be our coach for much longer, and I would be surprised if he saw out the year. I wouldn't mind Neil Henry to be honest, couldn't do any worse ( that would require hiring Stuart ) and the Cowboys have shown under Green that inconsistency was more than a Henry issue. So Milford would certainly not be stepping backwards.

Milford's defence needs work, but then who's doesn't at the Raiders right now?

Only if Griffin is still coach.

Milford has a lot of positives he is very good on his feet like insanely so but his passing game ain't great and he is a bit soft in defence. Still I'd rather have him than not but we couldn't compete with family/girlfriend nor would I have been happy to tie a ludicrous amount of salary cap up in him. I just wish it had been handled better by him.

The whole fiasco was a shambles from start to finish.

His passing may not be his strength, but it's a million miles ahead of Hoffman's. With Milford in our side this year we probably average 2 more tries a game Hoffman has bombed that many by not passing. Milfords defense can be worked on as well, and hell Lockyer had a minder till his was sorted. Milford will be the same. I'm excited.

Canberra will end up with all his relatives as well living in Canberra, the whole 250 of them, all under the cap.
How desperate is this code. Every time the Broncos want to sign a superstar, or bring one home, they go all out, fiddle the books, and do everything to stop Brisbane Broncos from becoming a powerhouse club again.
Think about this, they allow the Roosters to buy a premiership team, hardly a word said and bringing Williams back under the cap somehow. Everything possible done to make this happen. (SYDNEY TEAM)

Manly, not only are they trying to bend the rules to keep Stewart, they also signed another forward Lauarki from superleague, and they still want to bend the rules. (SYDNEY TEAM)

FeeFeetah, bought by the doggies for a trillion dollars, all the while they had and have one of the strongest packs in the comp, Prictard, Graham, Williams, Tolman, Clemmon, Dogzilla ,,Eastwood,,(SYDNEY TEAM)

The Broncos lost Falou and Hunt, game did nothing to stop this happening, game allowed Inglis to renege on Broncos deal, he went to Souths.

Now we go to sign a 19 year old kid and Canberra up the anti to a million dollars. ? Really, ?

This code seems to do everything in their power to keep Brisbane downtrodden while handing out helping hands to all other teams.
It is now becoming a code that is manufactured, not made. (Rothfields idea to drag the code backwards to his sharkies level);
Brisbane crowds were heading towards 40 thousand and then we lost Lockyer to retirement, the NRL has got to start waking up to the fact you cant have a powerhouse club without no big superstar draw-cards.
The reason the Broncos crowds have dropped is because they did not have one superstar for 3 years.
Sydney clubs dont seem to have that problem.
The true problem is too many Sydney teams, not enough talent to keep them ALL propped up.



Yeah the game certainly hates the broncos . Now excuse me whilst I work out what I'm gunna watch on Friday night :sarcasm:

There it is Raiders fans. Ricky Stuart's excuse for 2015 chambered and ready to go

Wow, did the club read my post in the Raiders forum?

Now hopefully Stuart doesn't keep him in the starting side. At the most he play the rest of the year from the bench.

Thank you very much, Canberra.

Maybe now your admins will wake up to themselves and stop the rot before it gets any worse.
