Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3097238, member: 9326"] I think people are perhaps getting a bit carried away with a pre-season fluff piece article from prior to Christmas. Realistically, if Seibold comes out and publicly dumps Boyd to Queensland Cup in December, that will be literally our entire pre-season focus from a media perspective. You honestly won't hear the end of it until Round 1 has kicked off. The only people who win then are the hacks at the Courier Mail who don't have to make an effort to find any content for the rest of the break and pre-season. I have absolutely no problem with Seibold coming out and saying he needs to win his spot like everyone else and he'll be given a chance to prove he can still cut it. Realistically, he's the incumbent Captain and if he's going to be dumped from the Captaincy, or the 17, or not dumped at all, Seibold would be far better to leave that call as long as possible and keep his cards close to his chest. The fans might well be hungry for an answer, but realistically it's the media whipping up the fanfare around it all. We really shouldn't be buying into their self interest. Realistically, we're paying Boyd good money next year and there is nothing wrong with giving him a pre-season in a non-spine role like the others to see if he has anything to offer before we throw that money away. We already have Kahu on 400k, so if we discard them both without at least seeing for sure what he has left to offer, we're going to have well over a million bucks sitting in Queensland Cup. That's not a good reason alone to pick them, but it definitely deserves some consideration. I'm not saying Boyd doesn't need to earn his spot like anyone else. He absolutely does. But I don't see any reason to dump him to Queensland Cup this far out, and even if that was the case, I certainly don't think we have anything to gain by giving the Courier Mail the inside scoop this side of Christmas.
