South Sydney’s young playmaker Luke Keary has paid Brisbane’s Anthony Milford and Ben Hunt the ultimate compliment ahead of their clash tonight at Allianz Stadium.

“They have been the most consistent and best team, with the Cowboys and the Roosters, all year,” Keary said.

“After seeing them on Saturday night I’m expecting a tough, tough game on Thursday.

“They have been outstanding.

“Hunt has taken his game to a new level and Milford’s just a freak. He just plays off the back of Hunt and the forwards and they are very, very dangerous when they get a bit of go-forward.”
