Message: [QUOTE="WASSHHH, post: 2948959, member: 9424"] Agree 100%. Sadly, I have to admit I’ve let my unhappiness with his recent performances overshadow giving him credit for his past performances. This is not the thread for criticising Boyd - so that’s my shortcoming. That said, I wasn’t on the forum at the time but from what I can gather, I may have been one of the only people who thought his signing was a good one. But the truth is, and whether people like it or not, RL is nothing more than a business now and as we all (should) know, there is very little room for sentiment in the cutthroat world of business these days. If any one of us started underperforming at our jobs for an [U]extended[/U] period of time I doubt we’d be afforded the same luxury of resting on past performances. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I certainly admire all his achievements in the game. But honestly, and in my opinion at least, the same applies for all the players who have achieved even just one appearance in any top level sport (NRL, AFL, Sheffield Shield etc.), as that achievement puts them in the highest echelon of their sport - something most commoners like me could only ever dream of. But [USER=2221]@Porthoz[/USER] makes an incredibly important point that can’t be overlooked; even Thurston is copping it and he’s a future Immortal. Whether we like it or not, fans, who directly contribute toward funding sports and can be a very fickle bunch, expect nothing short of the best and I tend to agree with such expectations. [/QUOTE]
