Partly. Brisbane know that Barba and Milford are coming and see Ben Hunt as the future. So they told both Prince and Wallace they where both surplus to requirement next year and would be playing qcup if they stayed on. Thus why Wallace went back to Penrith and Princey retired.so u think this is why Prince is finishing up because Milford is about to sign?
If Brisbane get Milford they haven't certainly been blessed, he is a freak and will be huge. I still think his grubby manager has done a back door deal somewhere
jorge taufua lol.
They still must be paying him something, I don't believe that Prince would forgo his contract, seriously if it was me I would play QLD cup for the year, get my money, or even wait for an injury, and then retire at the end of the year...Partly.

How good is the Broncos management,Barba officially released 2day & the Broncos sign him up for 3yr WOW, love how they all play by the rules, this is what is wrong with the NRL, They make up rules and then turn a blind eye.....
Come out, come out where ever you are Blakey
THE Raiders have stood down Blake Ferguson, effective immediately, over a fresh no show. But they can't find the star centre to tell him.
Raiders CEO Don Furner said he had attempted to make contact with Ferguson Tuesday and Wednesday to discuss with him why he had missed training, but was unsuccessful in making contact.
"We have been left with little choice but to stand Blake down from all playing and training duties, until we find out both why he has missed scheduled training commitments and why he has been drinking whilst injured, which is a clear breach of the club’s rules," Furner said.
"Blake will be given the opportunity to explain his actions, and following that he may also be required to front the board to show cause."
The troubled 23-year-old still hadn't returned to Canberra from Sydney for Raiders training on Wednesday afternoon, with the side to fly to Auckland on Thursday morning for a must-win NRL clash against the Warriors on Saturday.
The Raiders tried to contact Ferguson numerous times on Wednesday after he didn't show up for a meeting with club CEO Furner the night before.
It's understood he's advised the club to call his uncle Anthony Mundine, but they had no success in doing so
Ferguson chose to be in Sydney instead of watching his teammates' last two crucial home games.
It's believed he wants out of the Canberra club to be closer to family and friends in Sydney in 2014.
His most recent no-show comes just one week after the coach who stuck his neck out for him, David Furner, was sacked by the club.
When asked Wednesday if the whole saga was becoming a bit ridiculous, Dunemann replied: "Yeah it is, but like I said the board are handling it and I'll leave it to them.''
A circus?
"I think so,'' Dunemann said.
The 12th-placed Raiders must beat the Warriors in Auckland and then the Sharks in Canberra to have any chance of finishing in the top eight.
Dunemann admitted Ferguson's behaviour had been a slight distraction for the squad.
It is initially, but I think they're now past it to be honest,'' he said.
Asked if there needed to be hardline stance taken on off-field indiscretions, he said "There needs to be seen to be punishment for people who don't want to abide by what the rest of them do.''
Canberra captain Terry Campese, who is returning from a two-week injury stint on the sidelines, said Ferguson's disappearance wouldn't be too big a distraction.
"We're just worried about this weekend and the 17 players named to play,'' he said
they will be in the exact same spot as they where if they use milford and hunt as a halves pairing. need a runner and an organiser, they will go from 2 organisers in prince and wallace to two runners.
