Your Say
24/12/2011
Miller was the First ever Player Born in the 1960s to play First Grade in the New South Wales Rugby League/Australian Rugby League/Super League/National Rugby League.
26/08/2022
No he wasn't. He retired long before Super League and NRL.
09/08/2023
I don't know if many realise this, but he is the only player to have won the Player of the Year/Best & Fairest award in both the Australian and English top grade premierships (Rothmans Medal later the Dally M Medal + Man of Steel Award).
09/01/2024
Best ball player I've ever seen. Great chemistry with outside backs, along with side step to break the line himself. Most importantly, willing to take hits to put players through gaps. Best player in the nswrl (now NRL) in 1988 & 1989, ahead of legends like Sterling, Lewis & Elias.
