TL;DR: Despite how mindboggling shit he looks, he's actually pretty great.

Does Boyd possess some magical talisman that only affects choaches he plays for that make them unable to see just how shit he is whereas literally everyone(I hope by now) else can?
 
You can fix it - for once and for all Anthony.

Perhaps, yes I say perhaps Boyd contributes an intangible. Every time I've mentioned stats I always rea a few responses telling me the stats mean nothing, it's the things that stats don't show. I say fair enough but maybe, just maybe Boyd does something for the team that makes them better.

I'm loving this from Seibold actually. Why? Well he's using the masters tactics, namely building a seige mentality within the team. He's making the world the enemy, it's the Broncos against the media, the fickle fan, the other clubs, the ex players.

From what I can tell the team supports DB and this stuff solidifies the resolve. A lot of us, myself included have been kicking him and it's probably time we stopped. Time for kicking is when the seasons done.
 
Jesus wept... Why say this? Really ?
The media are going to have a field day.
Comparing Darius to Keary like this makes Seibold look like a fruitcake!!!

The best way for him to stop people from kicking him are with his actions on the field. Milford is copping it more from commentators about not contributing enough which is unfair because Milford is doing a lot already. So Boyd, as captain, needs to step up and give more support to his players. I would love to see Boyd with a show and go this week for a line break, wouldn’t that be amazing.

Look, it's hard to look at those stats from Keary and not wonder if Boyd isn't copping a bit more of a pasting because he's captain of the Broncos, notwithstanding the fact that Boyds workrate is still clearly unacceptable, but I also can't escape the feeling that Seibold must really be digging hard to look for ways to defend Boyd if he needed to go do his homework on how every other half in the comp is doing statistically as compared so he has something to feed the media scrum.

And frankly he picked a poor target in Keary. The Roosters are 2nd on the ladder and Premiership contenders, nobody gives a shit about Keary's stats until they start losing.

I've said it before - because he’s stinking this place up doesn’t mean he’s stinking up the players group. Got to be a valid reason why our coach is backing and defending him.

“Darius’ job is to organise our team,” he said. “He is not an Anthony Milford who is going to take the line on. He is a leader and he has been getting better and better (at five-eighth).”

So if the attack looks rudderless and disorganised, here’s who we should blame.

Even Shane Perry would take the line on at some point and time when he was playing at the club good lord FFS.
 
The “he’s learning the role” is a cop out I think. He was useless at fullback and now he’s useless at 5/8 (for mostly the same reasons).
 
Right so how’s this for random, I was patrolling the airport the other having a rather impassioned chat about the Broncs and moving Boyd to left centre.

Some chick was listening in and offered me Siebolds number to pass on my ‘advice’. I just asked her to pass on the message to ask Darbs to retire. Guess my fickle fan view was enough lol
