| Quote from the Pryce/Sneyd signing article
'There aren't many better CVs in the competition than that of Leon and that experience will be great for our young halves like Jordan Rankin, Jordan Abdull and Harry Tyson-Wilson, who can learn from a Grand Final winner and former Super League Young Player of the Year.'
So that's Miller deffo going then

I would expect Miller to go now. He is an out and out scrum half and will be well down the pecking order.
Rankin (who was of course a Radford signing) offers more, especially with his ability to play full back, his pace and his goal kicking and I hope he stays.

Its imperative Rankin stays if we suffer our usual curse of the half backs.

| Thanks for your efforts Jacob.
Can't help thinking its an opportunity missed by both him and the club, but his card has been marked by Radders for some time

| I think Miller has played his last game for us, it will be better for us to play the likes of Abdul for our future.
I hope he gets an NRL contract next year and does well, his game will have to improve massively to make an impact on the NRL though.

| I feel a bit sorry for him really. Gentle offered him big bucks and probably a promise of 1st team rugby. Then the coach changes, drops him (correct decision IMO), now finds himself at a club that doesn't want him, across the world from his family and may feel that he has to stay in the UK now as his GF is pregnant with his child.
I hope his Mrs sees sense and goes over to Australia with him!

As she came over from Australia with him I'm sure she'll go back with him!
Clearly it hasn't worked out and the writing was probably on the wall as soon as Gentle got sacked. He may not have been what we were looking for but he tried his best and I for one would like to wish him good luck for his future career.

Does his Mrs even know he has a GF? People should be careful what they put on here, it's not FB or Twitter, after all

None of us really know what goes on behind the scenes and especially in training where the coaches will be monitoring players attitudes.
But the response from Dons fans regarding his lack of commitment speaks volumes i fear.
There was a chance for him to really make a statement but he seems to have done the opposite.

| Even before the signings, I said before the Wakefield game Miller might as well pack up and go home now after one of our U19s got picked in front of him. It hasn't worked out for him or the club which is a real shame , as I wanted him to do well. His future lies somewhere else and I hope it turns out good for him.

| I wouldn't mind miller. Think he's shown glimpses, struggled for consistency, with the right coach could be good and still young. In fact I'd prefer him to gale :/

| Don't know why people keep saying they think Miller is a good player. His signing is on a par with Hitro Okesene or Butch Mavis

| OK I haven't seen much of Miller in an FC shirt this year, only Sky games, but is he that bad??
I saw the lad play a few times at Leichhardt Oval and he looked good, good enough to be picked for a junior Oz team anyway. Clearly it hasn't worked out for him at FC, but with the sacking of Gentle, the fact that hes on the other side of the planet from his family and his obvious drop in form suggests that he just isn't happy at/in Hull. Oh and Radford.........
Maybe a change in coach would help, if a move to Cas is actually on, else I'm sure a team over here would pick him up. Will be interesting to see how he does get on at a different club whether it be in the UK or Oz.
Not sure what him being PG's godson (if true) has got to do with the decision to sign him. I'm sure there were others involved in player recruitment other than PG.
Also can't understand the constant slating of halves who cant tackle. Johnathan Thurston is being called 'Turnstyle' by the NSW press, as his tackling is terrible, but I'm sure most on here would be wetting themselves if we signed him.

| Agree with you there mate.
Think you see the real deal under a proper coach.
