Farah and Miller

Potter has a huge opinion of Brooks , very similiarly as Sheens did for Tedesco

He loves his attitude and good work ethic

Where that leaves Miller ,I don't know , but why would you put heaps of work into a bloke (Miller) if you weren't going to keep him

Basically if that is the case , we are training Miller to be a success at another club
 
It can't be comfortable when you are the new boy in the class and you have the two school bullys standing next to you all the time.

I think that anyone who has seen Brooks play has a huge opinion.

IN regards to Miller and us training him for another club, I guess it is true, but i think it is more a case of him being a stop gap so we dont have to have Brooks do too much before he is ready.

Miller definately playd 5/8 in his first year of NYC at the roosters with Brad Murray the half (still feel sorry for that kid and mad as hell at the league for not punishing Sam Ayoub, but getting off track) and think he may have played 5/8 in the schoolboy stuff also. maybe he'll head that way in the future, altho I feel we are well covered in that dept also.

The natural fit is St George, they are desperate for a half, and they dont have one in there system that I can see. IMO Drinkwater is not up to the NRL and the others there are not as good as him.
 
If Miller can keep fit and keep improving he will have plenty of clubs after his signature. Love to keep both, but the days of the salary cap will prevent that from happening. Also both would want to be in the top grade and that cant happen
 
I think that most of you are getting way ahead of yourselves. Most NRL team supporters would be very happy to have a "problem" like this. Brooks is very young and because of this is most unlikely to play FG this year. On the other hand Miller has done his apprenticeship and is now performing well in top grade. He deserves the chance to prove himself. He has the confidence to stand up and direct his team mates during a match. This will stand him in good stead as he gains more experience in FG. My concern is that there are four strong personalties in the side, Benji, Farah, Anasta and Miller. They can't all be giving orders at the same time. This is a problem that hopefully Potter is well on the way to clearing.
 
Great cohesion in the halves tonight. A lot of trust was shown by Benji and Farah to give Miller the field goal.
Personally i would love to see the club keep Miller. It is very early days, and look how far Miller has come in 3 weeks.

Great improvement by tigers tonight!!
 
Yep, i take back most of what i said about farah. He seems to have given miller a bit more control tonight. Still not as much as benji or maybe someone like thurston would have. But it was good.

I guess, farah was a bit hesitant first few rounds, especially after round 1\. Also, believing that a better halfback is waiting would have probably swayed him too.
 
This threads a disgrace and people writing off Miller should be ashamed to call emselves supporters….give him a go
Weve got bugger all fowards, a new coach with an inherited, generally poor team....yet Jacob is heading in the right direction

Agree totally :master:

….but you can bet your bottom dollar the knives will be out for him when we struggle against melb & Manly
Hell...theyre out already and weve won our last two.

People have no patience.....this new team under potter will take a few years to reach its peak, I hope Millers directing it at the peak too
 
The combinations are already coming together after three games, and he was shut out for most of the first game… Probably a contributing factor as to why we lost (aside from the mountain of possession against us of course.)
 
Miller has improved every week. The difference I see is Potter. I don't know that Miller has improved greatly as a footballer since same time last year but the respect given him by the coach seems to have. Of course he will have improved somewhat, but the coach certainly has had an effect.

5, Moltzen's talking is very very noticeable, aside from Farah he is probably the second most talkative player in the team. This is one of the main reasons he is on ahead of Teddy at fullback imo.

I reckon he'd be even better without Benji.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks Miller/Brooks is our future. If we can somehow hang onto them both until Benji is done that'd be fantastic. Maybe we can play one of them as a utility option in the interim I dunno. I hope having Benji on the books doesn't cost us that halves pairing.

Goose, The Dragons have got Shannon Crook from the 20's who looks to have first grade written all over him & he is a handy goal kicker to boot. He was a Magpies junior when Craig Young signed him to the Dragons but it's probably worked out better for the kid anyway as he would of been behind Brooks to start off with but he is just as talented.
 
I agree with Ink, all this talk bout heading Miller off elsewhere is not tiger-talk. The worst place for us to be is so high up on cloud-9 that we throw away genuine great players cause we think we have something better in store. You never know what will happen between now and next year.
 
Haven't seem much of Brooks, but I hear he's as good as miller, if not a bit better. We would have the same issue with blooding Brooks into 1st grade. It's a huge stepup. So while some think Miller should move over, he has worked hard and deserves his chance. If at the end of the year it doesn't work out, so be it. In the meantime, we should all be 100% behind Miller.

Just watched Farah's press conference about his resigning and noticed he didn't give the new 7 a mention at all. He talked about Koro, Woods, Sirro but not Miller. Also, when Potsy was talking about miller in a post game conference I felt farah didn't really approve of him. And the biggest factor, is the way farah treats Miller on the field. I feel like Benji is really giving the bloke a chance while Farah…not so much. You can see that by things like all those photo shoots where miller is right next to benji, benji's song on the footy show had miller and moltz in it. Stuff like that, I just feel like it negatively impacts Miller's growth and the team as a whole.

Any thoughts? Might be reading into a bit hard.

I noticed last night that Benji spends a fair bit of time talking to Miller pre-game warmup and during breaks in play. It appears that Benji is mentoring Miller as much as anything else while Robbie is more focussed on the team as its captain rather than focussing on any one player.
