"It‘s up to Anthony how long he stays in Intrust. It will be longer than a week, but I need him playing well and we‘ll put the support around him to get back to the NRL. Ultimately, he has to drive it.”

not worth the hold.

It hurts, but time to say goodbye. Will remember the good times, milf.

RIP MILFORD RND6:

I could do something like Milford & Riki to Haas & Blore
Not too shabby if Blore is named today

If Blore is named today then he will be on that list as well

I'm telling you, the writings on the wall for him.  Wouldn't be surprised if he even gets back into first grade but as you said mate, Croft ain't a worthy long term replacement.  I think Kev might know the club isn't resigning him and just not pursuing it or trying to work with him any further.  Not sure how long Croft is signed for but maybe Kev focusing his attention to him and Dearden while trying to keep him.  I don't see Kev dropping Milf like this if there wasn't more behind the scenes with the organisation.

I sort of disagree, regardless of whether he is re-signed (although I don't think he will be). I think Kevy may be the one at teh club who believes in him the most, because he got him to perform back in 2015. Milford will probably end up at another club with a stable hooker/half/fullback and kill it imo

From the same interview..

“I want to make it clear I haven‘t given up on Milf. If we are going to improve, I need to make the hard calls and ensure everyone wants to get better and if that happens, the team will benefit. I know Milf is copping a lot of criticism, but I honestly believe I can work with Anthony and get him firing again. It has to come from Milf, too.

“I sat down with Anthony and I took him through a few things I needed him to work on. It‘s my job as coach to get him back performing. There’s a few things Milf needs to work on, his kicking is a key area that has to be addressed, but everything about his game can be better. To Anthony‘s credit, he took it well. He understood my reasoning and he took it like a man, which I respected."

“During my career as a player, it was a regular occurrence for players to get dropped to reserve grade if you didn’t perform. That’s the way it was. I’m sure Anthony can respond to what I want. You talk about his contract ... well that’s what I’m trying to do, I’m searching for ways to get him back to his best football."

“I want Milf to go back to the Intrust and work on a few things in his game. At his best, he has special things in his game. I told him to go back and be the Anthony Milford which we haven‘t seen for a while. I want him to get some confidence back. My hope is that he gets better there and if he does that, I will bring him back into the team. It‘s up to Anthony how long he stays in Intrust. It will be longer than a week, but I need him playing well and we‘ll put the support around him to get back to the NRL. Ultimately, he has to drive it.”
