Only if we got him at a bargain (which I don't see happening) then at fullback which from memory he played well at when he was with Canberra.

I’d be happy to give him a go,$450 to 500k,he’s definitely better than anything we have

Milford is mentally weak and looks totally uninterested when playing. Bad ju ju.

I still reckon the poodle rapist for 2 years would be a perfect fit for us and Burton while our younger guys develop.

You do know the media would magically find more inappropriate videos from when he was with the Roosters and Knights and pin them on us.

I'd rather take Benji on a cheap deal than Milford, Taylor, Sezer or any other reject that gets suggested.

All of those players are poor defenders, as is Benji, but at least Benji can set up tries, has great vision and a feel for the game unlike the others. Plus he has plenty of experience obviously... Even if he's just a backup, he'd offer way more than those other guys and would be cheaper.

10000% this. We should've had him for this year and didn't and hes had a decent year at Souths with minimal game time. WIthout the week in week out 80 minutes im sure his body is still feeling good enough to go round next year, bring him over to see out his career and mentor Burton. He wants to stay in Sydney and we need an experienced half, $300k 1 year with clubs option for a 2nd and we're set. It just makes sense

I dunno about Junior Junior Baz.
Still seems too big for his boots.
We’ve had Napa and The Flange, I’m not sure I want another Bondi discard as a ‘told you so’?

I’d be considering anyone that has played NRL and not been flogged 66-0.

Milford has cut his salary by 2/3 so for that price it’s a maybe. Fullback only for his instinctive play. Far away from any responsibility for game management

Milford looks like he is paying to play, not the other way round.

Won't he get homesick? or does that only happen when you're trying to break a contract?

Desperate times . Desperate measures. Dufty, Milf, Hodgson in the spine is a huge risk but what have we got to loose ? Already at rock bottom
