RTS because he will be back playing RU in 3 or 4 years.

The kid will be an All Black... Which by default takes him to another level above any NRL player...

RTS.

Milford is Ben Barba mk II. You just get the feeling that off-field issues are around the corner.

I think with a full pre-season of fb under his belt RTS will be a gun on both sides of the ball. Milford doesn't exactly strike you as a solid defender.

Also, RTS gets dominated less in tackles and allows quicker play of the ball which in my opinion is one of the major strengths for a fullback these days.

Conrad Hurrell and Jacob Loko

RTS and Milford will be meh once figured out,what you cannot figure out is raw strength and explosiveness

Actually those who are footballers will go much further than just physical monsters.

Jacob Loko will struggle to match Ben Pomeroy's career.

Konrad Hurell has no fitness, and won't until he drops some size (which is his main strength). Good teams have already figured out to spot him early and he will go missing, especially on defence.

Milford's a pretty good defender actually. Kid can put a proper hit on when he wants to. He's also actually had to defend in the line, in a team that has been a defensive rabble, and when he has he's done well.

In any case they're different players anyway. Milford is more Benji Marshall than he is Ben Barba, his long term position is in the halves.

I meant off the field. He just strikes me as someone who will act up.

Either way, both exciting players.

I'd take both post-Matai/Lyon era,they could do wonders in our system

Milford's career will be over next september if he stays in canberra,look whose coming to town :D

Milford isn't a "pretty good defender" at all. He just isn't as shit as we expected.

Anyway this is pretty much an apples and oranges thing.. As you said. Milford comes from the halves (though I disagree about that being where we will see him) and RTS lives in the back 3.
