Pick 63, 2017 Ben Miller - Welcome to Tigerland.

Late last season reports indicated he is getting closer to a game as he was an emergency a couple of time. I don't know why but I particularly want him to succeed

He is the scrimmage match specialist
 
With there being two pre season games, imo, the club just should bite the bullet and play Miller in each of these games. No player wants the stigma of being a "list filler". If the club thinks that he is worthy of keeping on the list for a 4th year, surely he must be capable (or potentially capable) of being at least a decent player at senior level. It is time for the club to stop hovering about Miller. Just do it.

The only evidence I have is-

Club saying Ben Miller was in line for senior selection in late 2020. Premiership year.

A few quarters of an early 2021 preseason game.

And a year of watching Miller at reserves level. I can be certain of this - Miller is a glamour decision maker, a Scanlan's card of skills, a freak athlete, perfectly built for football, and young. Very young. Possibly not interested but young.

We were all taken aback by the Miller steam late in 2020. May play seniors. Was it real?

The 2021 preseason quarters were very encouraging. If he gets a few more things right this preseason Conservativewick has to play Ben Miller. (Dimma knew that last year.)

Miller's got decision making. He's got skills. We want to see presence. We've seen some. Let's see some more.

Yeah, I was going to say his performance on the weekend was the best I've seen from him. More physically confident. More involved.

Report was that he had injury issues for the first two seasons which held him back.
 
I saw the B game as a lot of , tending to be skinny , promising talented young guys , from both sides
Miller has an imposing figure and he looked composed and far from out of place
is he first grade quality ? I seriously don't know , lets see what 2021 brings
 
In his first season he spent time with Rance. He has always had an ability to judge the time needed to reach the contest in front. Fast, pretty good with the ball in hand and hopefully increased confidence this year will see him iron out problems as they arise.
Hope he plays on Friday.
 
Ben Miller is 21 year old 197cm athletic 'KID' with great agility and speed

I would give him another 2 years and be patient

Needs to get a game or two this year. Has a longer term opportunity perhaps by taking Dave's (legend) spot when he's ready to hang 'em up.

I thought it was just because the commentators didn’t know anybody’s name that they were just calling Miller Green
