Anthony Milford has been announced captain for Samoa at the Rugby League World Cup Nines in October! ✏ RLW9s

Broncos fullback Anthony Milford says an ongoing knee issue shouldn't stop him from captaining Samoa in the upcoming World Nines at Bankwest Stadium.

While he couldn't reveal too many team selections, he said he had been in contact with coach Matt Parish."This is another stepping stone towards our Test match against Fiji. "The one I'm excited to see is not so much but what our backs can do but our second rowers and the bigger guys, seeing them in open space. I think you'll see a lot of free flowing footy and a lot of throwing the ball around," he said.

Milford hoped the reduced format would provide a leveller between the dominant nations who play well to structure and get plenty of time together – such as Australia and New Zealand – and bring in the Pacific nations who have boundless skill but fewer chances to get together and build game plans and combinations.
