Newcastle legend Andrew Johns said the delayed return to the NRL for Anthony Milford may be a blessing in disguise, as it gives him time to get into shape. Now, having had a path cleared to play for Newcastle in the second half of the year, Johns says the former Bronco needs to put his head down. If you're fair dinkum, you can get rock-hard fit in four, five, six weeks," Johns. "You look at boxers before a big fight. They go into camp and it's for five, six weeks, two months - and they get themselves ready to fight heavyweight boxing matches that go for 12 rounds." "If he commits, and if he's only at Newcastle for a year - he can leave a legacy at Newcastle. We know the player he is, what he did at Canberra, what he did five or six years ago when he got to the grand final [with Brisbane], he was one of the best players in the world. "If he gets fit, he'll be a great asset for the club. It gives depth in the halves, depth off the bench, and depth at fullback."
