Brisbane Broncos legends Darren Lockyer and Sam Thaiday have challenged five-eighth Anthony Milford to take his game to another level as he nears the end of his current contract with the club. While Milford's talent has never been questioned, his consistency has often been criticised - and even in Round One, it was a game of two halves for the polarising No.6. Brisbane led 16-0 at half time before hitting a wall and losing 24-16 to the Parramatta Eels. Despite the disappointing result, Lockyer said it was a "great start" for the 2020 wooden spooners, and defended his decision to award Milford one Dally M point. "Two of those tries were created through his brilliance," Lockyer told Wide World of Sports' QLDER "As a half, when you're 16-0 up, you get really disappointed you didn't close the game out, but there was a lot to like about a lot of performances and I thought Milford deserved a point." The 26-year-old accepted a one-year player option in the middle of last season, and 2021 will be the last year of a massive four-year contract extension that he signed in 2017.
