THE Broncos have called for the NRL to scrap the controversial round 13 registration deadline amid fears Canberra are "harassing" Anthony Milford in their $2.7 million retention fight.
Milford has signed with Brisbane for next season but the NRL's delay in rubber-stamping the deal until round 13 is giving Canberra time for a last-ditch counter strike.
Asked if the round 13 rule should be removed and playing contracts registered when a player signs, Broncos operations chief Andrew Gee said: "Yes, that's the logical thing."
Now the contract saga is turning ugly.
It is understood that Milford is feeling pressured to stay as key Raiders identities get in his ear in the hope the 19-year-old will backflip on his Broncos deal.
The Maroons Origin hopeful again underlined his importance to Raiders coach Ricky Stuart when he terrorised Souths in Canberra's 30-18 boilover on Sunday.

Milford signed a two-year deal with Brisbane last November but under NRL guidelines the contract cannot be formalised by the governing body until June 6.
That gives Canberra another 67 days to convince Milford to snub the Broncos by accepting their three-year counter offer that is worth at least $900,000 annually.
In the ultimate irony, Canberra will host the Broncos in round 13 — three days after Milford's future is determined.
"Canberra have every right to fight for Anthony but it's not a great rule when a bloke can sign a contract and back out of it," Gee said.
"We went through this round 13 issue last year with Corey Norman.
"He signed with Parramatta and we could have tried to talk him out of it, but we respected his decision."
