Can tuck and run too. Runs a 4.6 at 220lbs. Should be a beast.

It seems ther coaches like versatility so that would be a great asset. Wonder if he can pass well.

I think it's high time the handball was introduced to the NFL.

See what happens in Australia is we play this game of kick (punt) a foot ball to two opposing lines in the school yard from the time we are 6 or 7 years of age. It is called False Man's Back. Then half of the country's boys go an play Australian Football League at School where 80% of the game is punting. Everybody punts. It is a natural thing for most Australian boys and has been in our culture for nearly 100 years.

So when one of our boys goes to the US and punts he will rise to the top of the heap. There are a number of Aussie punters already playing in NFL like in Phili etc

Matt is the best of the best in the US. He is a great and very strategic pick. He will pin our opponents near their line almost every time. As Rabbits said.... He is the real deal.

Yep mate
Milford is the key for me
He needs to be more in charge of the attack
Hope he can grow into that role

Good win for the boys albeit against a depleted Sharks team.
Forwards layed a good platform for milf to play first receiver a lot and run plays.
We reduced errors a lot which had been hurting us in previous matches.
Defence was a great improvement aswell.

The really interesting news is the rumour of Nikorima and a possible release to the warriors.
If that is the case I'd like to see a swap for Blake Green.
Or it Bird to 5/8, milf to half, Staggs to left centre.
Deardon to blood off the bench.
