Hope he is better next year because it seems to me hes come over from Aus to do a jump and catch the ball over the line. .

Makes it even more frustrating that we only give him the chance to do this about 1 in every 3 games.

Surely if he was 3rd choice then that makes him 2nd rate, ie next choice behind the starting 2 centres.


And anyway as others have said Ryan, Matt Gidley, Matt King would all look poor in our side.

I think Millard was unlucky at the Bulldogs as he was behind Josh Morris (the NRLs top try scorer that season I think) and Jamal Idris who took the comp by storm as a rookie.

I think you're right about Gidley and King et al. The way we play, the centres never get the ball early enough or in any kind of space to show what they can do. A lot of the time we used Atkins as a battering ram 10 yards from the line.

At the recent Warrington game someone in the crowd complained that we "only score from kicks" if thats the case, lets do it every chance we get!

I agree.

Our attack has not been organised or potent enought to create many chances through 'normal' attack like running angles/inside balls/creating overlaps etc so we need either a bit of broken play or a kick. We seem to have a centre who specialises in the high ball(and on this seasons evidence very little else) and we give him next to no chances to do his thing.

You don't see Wigan not kicking to Pat Rirchards......

Get to there 30 and boot it to Millard. I'd do it every play.
