Message: [QUOTE="OXY-351, post: 2846455, member: 2107"] Wasn't he injured in 2015 too? Didn't he play in origin 2 after being told it could end his season? No, I don't think the loyalty argument is odd. He's been a great player for QLD over the years. He's in good, some would say great, form. Other players have been selected on loyalty over the past couple of years when they were in nowhere near the form Slater is currenlty in. If he was playing terrible, I wouldn't think he should be selected on loyalty alone, but with his current injury free form, I think his past performances for QLD should earned him a chance to prove himself again in game 1. If it came down to a decision between Boyd and Slater, in terms of only one being in the team at all, then I can understand Boyd over Slater, given Boyds form over the last year. I mean if I'm going to talk about loyalty, then surely Boyd deserves some too. But they were able to play in the same team for many years, and I don't see why they still can't. So for me, it's not even a Boyd vs Slater form or a Boyd vs Slater loyalty argument, it's probably a Slater vs Someone Else argument. So in game 1, I think a player like Slater, based on his current form and performances for QLD over the years, deserved to be in the team much more than someone like Justin O'Niell, even if that meant having to move Boyd from his preferred position to elsewhere. It probably makes a much sense as using a someone's try scoring feats on the wing in an argument about fullback :p [/QUOTE]
