Message: [QUOTE="Ari Gold, post: 2636993, member: 1917"] [b]Re: [RUMOUR] Ben Barba to Cronulla[/b] AP - I presume that like me you think Milford should be fullback. If that's the case, are you arguing Barba could be great for us at five-eight? Because I personally think he's a shit option. The only reason I'd play him there would be as a placeholder for Taylor or Nikorima. To whoever said Boyd is good at finding the line, or is at least reasonable at it, is totally wrong in the context of this argument. Boyd has played 136 games at fullback at NRL level for 35 tries. Barba scored more tries than that over the space of the 2011-2012 seasons. 35 in 136 is basically 1 in 4 games. That is an awful record. I can't think of a single fullback in the NRL with a worse strike rate -- maybe Perrett if you're lucky. There are most definitely second rowers with better records. The majority of Boyd's tries come from the wing, be it outside Inglis at Origin level or when he started with us. He's good at finishing on the wing, but he won't play wing for us. And the reason he won't score a lot of tries as a fullback is that he is a lousy support player. I can almost guarantee you that Milford and Gillett will outscore Boyd this year. [/QUOTE]
