In 2015, Anthony Milford was one freakish play from Michael Morgan away from winning a Grand Final and a Clive Churchill Medal.
He was the Broncos best player and would have been awarded the medal for best on ground which would have capped off an incredible season for the Brisbane playmaker.
Regardless of the result, Milford would surely go down as one of the all-time greats at Brisbane given his talents and the projected improvement given his young age.
Unfortunately it hasn't quite worked out as many had expected, with Milford now playing for his future in the Queensland capital.
ANTHONY MILFORD:ย Broncos open to re-signing playmaker
Milford, still only 26, should be entering the peak of his career, and has shown some glimpses in 2021 of what he can continue to provide for either Brisbane or a new club.
Having stated he is open to a move despite returning to the NRL lineup following a stint in the reserves, we will look at the five most likely places Anthony Milford will land in 2022.
3. Cronulla Sharks
The Sharks are likely to be looking for a new halves partnership in 2022 after 'losing' Chad Townsend and with contract negotiations with Shaun Johnson reportedly failing to progress. The club has been heavily linked with Adam Reynolds, but Craig Fitzgibbon may look to bring the former Samoan half to the club either way.
As mentioned, a potential partnership with Adam Reynolds makes a heap of sense. Reynolds can run the game allowing Milford to run and attack as he sees fit. Milford's best performances came playing next to Ben Hunt who is a similar type of player to Reynolds. This would be a "for fit" signing and truthfully I don't hate it for the right price.
yea id have the milf at sharks. although im not sure hes a half. As im still not sold on kennedy, (slow motion runner, suspect in defence) maybe milf could replace him.
