Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2627296, member: 2221"] [b]Re: Broncos 2014 Stats thread[/b] I believe he was moved to 5/8 when Hook finally realised how useless Hoffman was in the position. Undoubtedly, his recent form and dropped bombs also contributed to it. Now let's look at the reasons / excuses: - Dealing with psychological issues we all have read about, and led to his departure from the Bulldogs. - Having to adapt to a new team with completely different structures, or whatever those Griffin tactics were called. - Made to play both fullback and five-eight at the same time, to compensate for Hoggman's deficiencies (confirmed by Hook and Barba), prior to being moved to 5/8. - Possible ankle injury lmiting his speed and freedom of movement, thus severely impacting his play style. - Bulked-up, thus compounding the previous point - Coached by Griffin... need I say more? With the above in mind, answer these questions: - Which of those do you think are not valid, and which of these do you think can't be addressed/fixed by Wayne Bennett? - If you believe Bennett can bring Boyd back to his best, why wouldn't he be able to do the same with Barba? - Do you think Boyd at his best even holds a candle to Barba at his best? - Even if you do believe Boyd is better than Barba at his best, is it worth the extra large amount of salary cap? - Do you believe Wayne will drop Boyd from fullback, if one of the young kids coming through is breaking down the door? Once you've answered those questions, you'll have the answer to whether Boyd's recruitment is justified. [/QUOTE]
