MILFORD SET TO WEIGH UP APPROACHES FROM RABBITOHS AND TITANS
Unwanted Broncos playmaker Anthony Milford is set to decide between approaches from the Rabbitohs and the Titans in a bid to resurrect his NRL career.
Milford was shown the door by the Broncos with his $1 million a season deal set to expire at the end of 2021 and he had been linked with a short-term deal with the Eels for the remainder of the season.
However Fox league’s James Hooper revealed that the Rabbitohs will make a play for the 27-year-old with the money freed up by Dane Gagai’s departure to join the Knights on a three-year deal.
“We saw Dane Gagai is moving to the Newcastle Knights and as we know there is always a domino effect when someone makes a decision like that,” Hooper said on The Big League Wrap.
“So the Bunnies will definitely make a play to try and bring Anthony Milford to Redfern for next season.
“He would play in the halves with Cody Walker.
“The Gold Coast are also in there as well at the negotiating table, so he has got a decision to make.
“But it looks as though Anthony Milford will get an opportunity in the NRL definitely next season.”
Milford has a history with former Broncos assistant and Rabbitohs head coach as of next year Jason Demetriou.
The Samoan international has played seven Tests, two Origins for Queensland and has 68 tries and 358 points in 189 NRL games for the Raiders and Broncos since his debut in 2013.

Go to Souffs FFS and Holbrook and Mal pull your heads.
Stick to the 5 year plan.
Well I-for-one would take Milf right now immediate for at least the rest of this season. Taylor out Milf in that to me would be a massive upgrade and possibly a finals master stoke.
I can't see Codey and Milf working sounds like a disaster.
Probably our nemesis Bennet once again pushing up someones price just to foil the Titans.

Just when you think your Monday can't get any worse.
Read on a few websites that we are targeting Milford. Not sure why and I would prefer Taylor to be honest.
Milf is a bit eek but I've got him ahead of Taylor across the board bar maybe defence (of which they're both equally terrible)
Personally I'd rather neither
Signing Milford would be right up there with the best of the dumb decisions made by this club. If we really need a stop gap half for a year or even two, get Maloney out of his contract.
Milf did take the Broncos to a grand final and he probably should have won the Clive Churchill.
It’s not like this guy hasn’t been there and done that off his own bat (he is not an organising half but we already have this).
Don’t underestimate the impact the Bronco’s train wreck has had on Milf’s stature.
I consider this guy champion status and you know what happens when you right off a champion and anyone who tries to put Taylor in the same class as Milf is kidding themselves.
But at the end of the day I will go wth the flow of what the club deems advantageous to their plans.
I don’t see the point of milf. We have an absurd amount of halves on the books and I can’t say it’s night and day between him and Ash. He would have a huge chip on his shoulders and would love nothing more to spite the broncos but like Taylor he just looks cooked
Can't agree with any of that 5Y.
We defiantly need to sign a 5/8 and hopefully the young stock come thru but that's still little ways off and sometimes it just doesn't go to plan.
Cant believe anyone would pass on the guy in the below link. Sure he has to rediscover but once out of the toxic Bronco's he more than likely will. It is one hell of a highlights reel (having a little giggle to myself when comparing to a Taylor's one).
