Itโs being reported that the Brisbane Broncos have told Anthony Milford he wonโt be offered a contract in 2022.
With the news breaking this week, SEN host and former NRL great, Matty Johns was asked if the playmaker's future lay in the NRL.
โYes they willโ Johns replied on SEN 1170 Morning Glory when asked whether he could see a rival club signing Milford for next season.
โEvery coach thinks they can get him going good.โ

Part of the issue, according to Johns, is that Milford has been deployed as a halfback in Brisbane, something that heโd change if he were in charge of the 26-year-old.
โIf I was coaching Milf, I would say โThereโs two options we can go with here," Johns stated.
โThe first option is, โWeโve got to find a really good half to play alongside you, to relieve you of all the organising, to relieve you of all the talk and you can go out there and be youโ.
โOr, โWe canโt bring that halfback in, but we need you to train your arse off, so you can get rock hard fit and iโm going to play you at fullbackโ.
โI canโt have him playing in the halves to make him an organising halfback, heโs not that player.
โTheyโve always wanted Milford over the last four to five years to be the player he just isnโt.โ
While rumours persist that a move to the UK is on the cards for Milford, Johns seemed to think that would be unlikely.
โI think heโll stay in Australia and a team will pick him up.โ Johns said.
โA club will look at him and say โweโve got a good halfback, but we need a bit of flair and a bit of running strike. That would suit Milford.โ

It seems that thereโs plenty of room left yet for this story to unfold.
