I'm not sure what ZeroTackle article is, but Lodge is quoted on the Broncos website today (he was up for media after training) confirming Milford is dropped.

Was to the affect that he looks to have played his last game under Kev. Nothing really backing it up, but make paranoia creep in.

I've been holding Matterson for 17 weeks now, so it hasn't crossed my mind to trade out Milf.

UNLESS.

There is a big unless. If he's dropped and playing reserve grade I will definitely hold him and assume he's back in the team in a week or two (though I'd not see that above article, which is unnerving) and Averillos it up on his return to the NRL. I would very much assume that this is merely a ploy to get him to wake up to himself and that he won't be out long (before reading the above).

The only UNLESS part of the equation would be if he ends up being named on the bench, which was mentioned as a possibility in the article on NRL.com too. If he's out completely and keeps his sexy BE there's no way I could trade him, but if he comes on for 10mins ala Croft last week, I'll have no option but to punt him. And, it will aggravate me.

If you're holding I'm holding

“It is just for a period,” Walters said. “I expect him to be back playing with us in a month or so. He needs to go back and find himself, find his form and find the Anthony Milford we all know he can be.

“I think a lot of them here have (lost confidence). It hasn’t been a great couple of years for them. We’re trying to drag them back out of that world and it is taking time.

“We will get there with it. Anthony has been part of all that. I feel it is a time to relieve the pressure off him and he can just go and play some footy.”

I haven't stopped crying all morning

Seeing that song misnamed as 'hello darkness' is really giving me limewire flashbacks

Bye Milf

So... Carty next?

Tempting haha

Tis a sad day. It was quick ride, but a hell of a ride.

Carty would provoke some outrage but I really wish Latrell had bottomed out around now so I could talk him up & jump on and really get some outrage going.

Anyone else around who might provoke extreme reactions?/ (but secretly is underpriced)

Wade Graham?

Now you're making me get all riled up....but if he can get over the head knocks he is underpriced

Not sure he annoys enough people although if they shifted him to 5/8 you could make a good case.

Has to be something like how JWH is much better value than Haas

With the Milf-lovin' about to come to an end there's only 1 person we can switch to

averaging 47 this season:

When is James Maloney coming back from ESL - R11ish?

He's not on the same level as Milf/Carty - but Ben Hampton is generating extreme reactions for people who want to trade him in.

But I think unless Clifford can get back into the team, he probably has reasonable job security. And a 30+ average looks achievable for a guy priced under $300k

Sort of wish I'd grabbed him 2 weeks ago instead of Momo for the extra cash
