Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2627320, member: 2221"] [b]Re: Broncos 2014 Stats thread[/b] I have never discounted Boyd's circumstances as a reasoning for his poor form. There are certainly valid excuses for his poor form. I really think there is no comparison possible between Barba an Boyd at their best, as while Boyd will be a very solid fullback and good link man in attack, but is not and will never be able to win a match on his own. That is of course subject to debate, but it is my opinion. What isn't opinion, is the fact that Boyd has a contract with Newcastle (worth $600K reportedly). Regardless of Newcastle letting him go or not, under salary cap rules, he will have to be paid the same value at a minimum. This is not optional! This means that the Broncos will have to carry that extra value under their cap, unless Newcastle decides to pay a portion of it. (fat chance) Going forward beyond 2016, the Broncos will still have to pay a figure acceptable to the salary cap auditor for an Australian and Qld rep. If we could get Boyd @ $150-200K, I wouldn't complain too much, even if I do worry that there is no way Wayne will ever drop Boyd, no matter what his form is or who is knocking on the door...
