Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2627845, member: 1899"] But it is a journalist award... It's no different to the 'Rugby League Immortal' stuff. The same people we all bag out somehow become credible because they apply a different label to it. Barba had a great 2012, he doesn't need a medal to symbolise that but he can't continue to coast on it and none of his form outside of that season has come close to touching that. Whether it's right or wrong, Boyd has showed more composure and consistensy than Barba and at a standard of football as well. Bennett needs somebody he can trust to help alleviate the expectations on his half and since Boyd is available he wants him. Now I personally don't want him for a number of reasons but I can see the logic and if he can make it work I don't have an issue. EDIT: Of what I saw in Newcastle, when Mullen and Roberts were off (which was a lot) the Knights could always count on Boyd's work on the second-man to create opportunities. The Broncos didn't have that fail-safe. In-fact, the narrative with Barba at the back was at best, he'd give you one good half and then go completely invisible for the second before doing something stupid. [/QUOTE]
