I agree that there appears to be something odd going on in the team or between Farah/Miller. :crazy Miller does seem to be the best person for the job this week, so why isn't he a run in for that position, at least he has some experience in FG, the thought of throwing Brookes in the deep end does not seem to be a good idea :bulb: I say give Miller another go 😕 and if there are problems within the team that should be sorted out quickly

I'm another one who is not aware if there is in fact some tension between Miller- Farah or Miller with anyone in the FG Team/Coach but its clearly obvious Potter is trying to find any and every reason not to play Miller otherwise he wouldnt even have thought of Brookes.
Sheens didnt like any of his boys having attitude, he was really quick to clip their wings. And the way he did that was limit the time a player spent on the field in FG. We all cried to have Fifita on for longer but Sheens only used him in little spells. If Miller has/had attitude issues Sheens would have never considered him- Thats my take.
Clearly there is a lot more to the story we arent aware of.
And as many have said, regardless of who plays 7 he will get hammered.

I think you may be onto something there Goose. I remember watching him a lot in NYC, and it was as if he played/carried himself like a spoilt brat, almost as if his S#$T didn't stink. Don't get me wrong, that can work in your favour if you have the talent to back it - after all arrogance can stem brilliance. I also think we have enough spoilt brats in FG which could be the problem as well.
Watched Miller a lot in his 2 years in NYC and agree on the 'spoiled brat' attitude. What made me realise how much he thought his " S#$T didn't stink" was at a Membership Day at Concord pre season this year when I watched the way he 'pranced' around with Moltzen. Think with Miller the problem is whilst he thinks he can 'talk the 'talk' he can't 'walk the walk' and Potter to his credit game him a chance but realises unless Miller can stop thinking he should be in NRL and earns the right ..he will never get there under Potter

Maybe Miller has already signed for Hull FC for the remainder of the season and they are waiting for his Visa to arrive before announcing it and flying over?
And they've reached an agreement with Wests not to play him in the meantime?
Maybe? :wink:

I'm getting tired of this player of the future crap. I remember hearing that so much about jake mullaney and then good bye. Never played 1 first grade game for us.
Everyone suggesting miller obviously didn't see his game on the weekend. He struggled. So why would he go any better in firsts. Yes he may have trained all off season but he is not a first grade HB.
From what I've seen of brooks I think he will be fine. I think potter needs to take risks and I think he is leaning towards brooks.

He didnt handle state cup too well by all reports….club would be mad to put a kid in first grade without too many old heads to protect him when we get smashed on Fri.....but it wouldnt surprise me if they do

Thats the best i can think of unless there is someone with more skill set than Simona.
At least Miller = Goal Kicking + last chance to prove his critics wrong.(that is if he does get the gig :laughing: )
@mtd said:
No disrespect but I disagree. Farah is the captain and should get a say. When the players are on the field where is Mick Potter? He is sitting in the box and they go to Farah for any help, the captain is like a second coach. he is the only person that should have a say though.

How does anyone on here claim to know how much say Farah has in the team? All this nonsense about Miller being held back by Farah is BS.

I'd love to plant a bug to get the truth about everything but i guess speculations keep the world going around,.
Life would be pretty boring without gossip and speculation.
I remember Farah facing the media once before putting claims to bed that him and Benj had some rift.

I genuinely believe there is more to Miller's dropping than just 'bad' form.
Despite what most people on here think, Miller wasn't bad enough to be dropped and should have been persevered with. He had one bad game, and that was when we were hopeless against the Knights in round 1\. Other games he was decent enough to hold his position if it was solely based on his performance.
I don't buy into rumours easily, but there is obviously more to this.
Will be very interesting to see if he gets a chance this week.
