Hi all - Please remember, you need to post links to the sources of your posts, even in the speculation thread... at least explain them!

Ok, let’s say there’s a chance at milf, and sources are posted, does he fit what we need?

Not if seven figure salaries are still being bandied about.

Doubt the Broncs would let him go at this point.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

I would guess Milford coming to Canberra wouldn't happen for less than 1.1m for 3 years or something like that

Wow that would be a big pay rise considering he went to the Broncos on $200k....

We should move heaven and earth to get Milford if he is keen to come back. The only player who should not be on the “move on” list is Hodgson! Everyone else should be shopped around

I thought Milford was pretty good in his last season for the Raiders. Better than he has been his last two seasons at the Broncos.

But he's not leaving Brisbane. I think Nikorima is the one on the outer now Siebold has arrived.

We lurch from speculation about Johnson to now Milford. Life doesn't get any better does it? Should there be a comma there or not?

There isn't really any speculation about Milford, though.

Sounds good, Townsend and Milford will be a good pairing.

Sammy and Sezer will look good in NSW cup.

That's sad if true. May as well get used to signing Poms only.

I would be upset if we can't even get a player of his standard when we want him.

Townsy is actually a marginal upgrade on both our guys. If we had him, Sammy would be back in NSW Cup.

Its not a loss if we miss out though.

That is my biggest concern. It would truely be both a kick in the guts and a real eye opener to the club and its fans.
