If he's not fit enough to play 80 minutes as an outside back, I doubt they'd be starting him in the NRL.

It's actually not because of Milford but because of the fitness of Te Whare. Null is the only one who can shift to centre effectively. I could be wrong but it makes the most sense (either Knik or Milf to a stint at lock, Null to centre and Kbrom/Gilb 2RF).

He plays 80 every week.

I forgot to add, it gets even harder, I need him next week so I can push Manu back to centre for Null, I'll be running Bula for two weeks as it is. If I'm trading Miller I'd need a WFB that's absolutely screaming to be traded in. Not sure there is one.

I read this earlier. Is it based on anything?

I dont really think milford has anything to do with te whare tbh.

If they wanted to give te whare a rest then lemu ctr kbrom edge.

Half expect milford to drop out and donohue to come onto bench. Either way milf aint running around at lock

I've absolutely thought about it. Agree, scores worse with Ponga. 37 with vs 50 without. Problem is, I don't know who I'd bring in who is better. And he plays the bye. If I trade him, basically I'd want a bye playing guy who scores similar and banks 200k. Any suggestions?

It's actually worse when you restrict it to just Knights games; 37 vs 58

There's probably something to be said for Ponga being new in the role and maybe taking a little time to gel?

That being said;
Millers TB's are pretty much the same between the two samples
MG drops from 210 > 160 with Ponga - unless his touches are down with Ponga (maybe they are?), then I'd imagine that gets a bit closer over time
Offloads halved, but probably coincidental in a small sample

MT's up with Ponga - fairly influenced by the Eels game, so you'd imagine Ponga/the Knights sharpen up their defence which should in turn lesson Millers MT's

The first two Ponga games had no GK for Miller (vs him kicking a few goals ever since)

The non-Ponga games feature 2 tries and 3 try assists - I'd imagine he gradually picks some of these up with Ponga

TLDR - I suspect he's still a 45+ average guy with Ponga... which seems decent enough for a WFB this year, and helps that he plays 13, 16, 17

I watched a game earlier this year and while it was just one game Te Whare didn’t look like he could defend in the nrl to me.

Who's running at him this week again? I seem to be struggling this year, I watch the games, but also the stats, and the forum, whilst gins etc.

Edit: not that it matters, Sharks lethal both sides.
