Anthony Milford will leave Raiders at end 2014

[Manchild]

Raiders can't retain Milford, Milford honours deal as he likely doesn't want to be stuck with a loser club= game is a farce, shambles, sack John Grant.

**** me our fans have lost the plot. It's enough to make you never want to log onto this site ever again.

oh get **** afgnk, you are such an antagonist. ive been reading your posts for a while and you always seem to want a fight. We have every right to feel upset at what is going on with the club we love.

I don't want to get in a fight.

All I'm trying to do is bring some rationality back to a gathering of whiny pricks, who for whatever reason can seem to understand that all this **** that's happened to us is primarily due to the fact that this club is run by a bunch of useless hacks, and has been for far too long.

Just like the NRL

[Raidersrawesome]

We have options to cover milford. He doesn't need to be in the team

[Ultima]

I'm not saying drop Milford because I'm upset, I was upset when this **** started and **** up our mental midgets last year when it was illegal for them to do it (then just kept going), drop him because he is out of form and isn't part of our "rebuilding year" considering he isn't ours for next year...

[Raider Bell]

afgtnk isn't wrong, but the NRL is also ran shockingly. No way in the world it's not a **** terribly managed game. They only care about how many Origin dollars are brought in each year.

[jozzas]

Great!

He doesn't want to be here -> he plays at Mounties with all of the other hacks that aren't putting in.

Take a broom to the joint and pick people that want to wear the green.

[Timbo]

Yep, send him to 20's. No reason to keep developing him when we have plenty of other players who need to FG spot.

It's not petty, it's doing what's best for the Raiders.

[Manbush]

Stuart showed with Fergo that he won't do it. I doubt much had changed.

Fergo used his get out clause pertaining to Ricky leaving so circumstances a bit different

[RTW]

Personally I would play him off the bench and play him the same way he started his career in the NRL. That way we can play Cornish as halfback and campese at 5/8 and let him know he only has to play for 50-60 min each match.

[Begbie]

hell be the first picked tomorrow.

[Bullraider]

Yep, send him to 20's. No reason to keep developing him when we have plenty of other players who need to FG spot.

It's not petty, it's doing what's best for the Raiders.

Yep put him in the 20's from now on.

[Greenmachine87]

I would probably give Robinson another crack, his form in 2012 was pretty dynamic.

But I wonder why Ahearn is playing 5/8 at Logan? He looked the goods in the 20's at Fullback.

We need to buy some quality outside backs

Ahearn hasn't exactly been setting the world alight at souths as a 5/8 either unfortunately

I for one look forward watching the broncos play every Friday night for the rest of my life and seeing every single player with talent that gets disciplined by a club wind up at the Roosters.

These new salary cap changes are going to do nothing but give clubs already rorting the cap more wiggle room.

[Ultima]

On the new cap changes, I think it will allow us to pay over for juniors who under perform and keep them in the future, no more losing our under-performing juniors to the Dragons or Broncos for us!

[1992]

It might be the personal things going on in my life that have made me become less sensitive and more of a prick, but I think the way this little bastard has dragged this on has earned him a one way ticket to reserve grade. Who cares how we look in the media. We are already done this season and might as well look to the future.

F.U Milford....and anybody who looks like you.

[nemesis]

Ahearn to fullback, he might not have the speed and step but he is a way better all round player and a smart footy brain .

Looks like milford was staying then after the big losses he thought when the going gets tough the weak get going, I don't want players like that here and after the origin toyota cup game he should have dominated I was convinced we didnt wanna be paying that much coin on.

see when players on 1 mill dont aim up the players that are on 20% of that start thinking stuff this and there are problems on so many levels. We may just have dodged a bullet but time will tell

[benda]

How do we sign up the Reece Robinson that played fullback 2 seasons ago?

[The Green Hornet]

The reception he'll receive this weekend will be interesting

Even though we saw this coming, this announcement hurts!

What should happen at this weeks game is that the entire raiders fan base should turn their back on him when he runs out. Give him a few seconds of what it feels like to be a Raiders fan.

[Northern Raider]

Pretty happy he didn't accept that $1m per year deal. Think we dodged a bullet on that one.

[Raider Bell]

EDIT

Good for a chuckle. I'd say this won't be the last of the **** he will cop. At least he gets paid, right.

[Begbie]

psychopath.

[Botman]

total basket case

[Green eyed Mick]

I don't see the need for fans to lash out at him. He isn't the first player to leave the club and he won't be the last.

Time for Sticky to take control over the things he can control. Make the changes he needs to make for the future of the Raiders. If that means Milford goes back to NYC so be it.

[Raider Bell]

That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued Raiders from drowning
Now it's too late - you're on your way to broncos now, I'm drowsy
and all I wanted was a lousy contract or a call
I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the wall
I love you Milf, we coulda been together, think about it
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sprint and you dream about it
And when you dream I hope you can't step and you SCREAM about it
I hope your broncos EAT AT YOU and you can't LEAVE the Raiders
See Milf; [*screaming*] Shut up Stick! I'm trying to talk!

[Raider Bell]

^^ For anyone who knows what the song is, that's what I thought when I read the poster of the wall comment.

[Raidersrawesome]

Theo isnt wrong though

Yes players leave but very few leave like this. Lets remember how it all started

[greeneyed]

Raider Milford to Broncos in 2015

The Raiders' miserable season was compounded on Monday with star Raiders fullback confirming he will honour his NRL agreement to move to Brisbane in 2015.

The announcement comes after the Raiders' second straight week of leaking more than 50 points.

"I know Ricky came in and took responsibility for the Manly game - but he's not the one out there missing the tackles," White said after the 57 missed tackles across the two games.

"I don't think the focus should be on Ricky for the losses."

I commented on that several times, it's ok to be pissed off but to write it directly to him is a bit much. He is a kid and rugby league us a business these days.

[craigo]

Yeah but we singed him at 13 and as soon as he makes it he takes off.

[Matt]

Wait... how am I going to send this tape out?!?!?!?!

RB that's GOLD!!!

[Brew]

Yeah but we singed him at 13 and as soon as he makes it he takes off.

True but if our club was more professional and a better culture it might of been a different story.
Can you really blame him for leaving?
We are a rabble.

[Bigcheese]

I'm happy he's going. Sure he's a decent player but he's not worth a million bucks.

Anthony Milford to leave Canberra Raiders at end of 2014

The tug of war for Canberra Raiders sensation Anthony Milford is over.

It allows the Raiders to rid themselves of the constant headlines and questions about the future of one of their brightest talents. Milford's departure will free up money that can go towards St George Illawarra Dragons forward Joel Thompson, but the Raiders are unlikely to be in the market for Bulldogs hooker Michael Ennis, who has been strongly linked to the Sharks.

Hahahahaha! Some of these guys are insane...

Glad it's over, one less thing we have to worry about in a dreadful season .

I'm pretty sure this will be his reaction

[Roger Kenworthy]

I'd say drop him if we had a ready and able replacement. I don't think we do.
