Is that it for him?

Is his time here done?

Supposedly injured then there he is in NYC yesterday, dropped from 1sts after ONE chance

Sheens drops no one….hes off contract I believe and as good as gone.
 
And he actually played well for the U20s yesterday …. again

Seriously, give the kid a chance, YOU NEVER KNOW
 
There has been whispers that the drama with him his not ability but attitude. Altho Ive heard this dozens of times, never from some one direct, so not sure if this is true, but could explain why he doesn't get a crack.
I think he looks pretty good to me, his defence seemed loads better than 2011 on the weekend and against Canberra in first grade, a perceived weakness, so if he keeps working on his weaknesses that has to be a good sign.
 
Milky has so much potential but looks like the writing is on the wall with the signing of Anasta.

Funny how kids who get selected in rep teams at a junior age often don't make it and others who are not selected like Cameron Smith end up superstars.
 
I thought the reason that he didn't play firsts was because he was injured, then passed a late fitness test for inclusion into the twenties as he didn't get to train with the full time squad. Saying that I think Humble has played well enough to keep jis position next week.
Next year I see: Miller halfback, Humble Utility, Anasta lock, Tedesco Fullback & Moltzen Goodbye

Miller at best a decent player. He has no chance. Mr Sheens has found his new Fitzy ,Humble the apple of his eye

I'll never call Humble "Fitzy" until he can head butt a ball into the grandstand @ Brookie while trying to catch a bomb. That was Fitzy gold!!

Your last line summed it up Ink… If you're dropped by the guy who religiously sticks with perennial underperformers, you're finished at WT. I mean the bloke debuts BMM in a finals game but Miller can't get a second game when the whole side is flat?

Sad really, I think the guy has what it takes to be a top 3 halfback in the NRL. This will probably be one of the few that comes back to haunt us.
 
Miller has been on the outer for some time and it doesn't look like they will give him a go for whatever reason.

Poor guy can't seem to do anything right. Lui leaves but Moltzen returns to take the spot. Now Humble and next year Anasta.
 
I'll be very dissappointed if he leaves but I fear he will. In NYC he was playing a step above most of the others, had loads of time with the ball in hand and organised well. His downfall is that sometimes he only does the minimum which can reflect badly to some observers. But he is definite first grade material and far better than average.

If he was afforded the same opportunity as Lui he would be great as the future halves pairing with Benji.

THats where you are wrong…..this is classic Sheens. Yes it is hard to get dropped once you are a first grader, but this is Sheens junior development 101\. Miller is 19\. ALWAYS (Ok except for Lawrence & Marshall) Sheens gives them a taste, then sens them back regardless. This is typical Sheens junior development.
 
worked with BMM though.

debut 2010 semi vs roosters.

hardly seen last year, and been firing off the bench this year.

To me it's typical Sheen Dumbness ..I see Meaney is coming on leaps and bounds… :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
 
We should all know that Sheens doesn't tolerate people with a poor attitude, especially at training.

As someone has mentioned, rumour has it that this is Miller's exact problem.
 
I watched him very closely on Sunday. Doesnt like to get tackled with the ball in his hands, therefore alot of his passing was before the line. But put his body on the line in defence?? Maybe he knows he is on the outer but to me he didnt look like a player whose contract expires at the end of the season. Looked like he only wanted the ball on the last tackle. Reminds me of a very good friend of mine Beau Henry. Beau while playing at the Dragons won the toyota cup player of the year and has hardly been sited in 1st grade. There is a big step up from toyota cup to 1st grade.
