Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 3059852, member: 2221"] I'm getting pretty sick of the bullshit line that we were tipped to be Top-4 this season. Anyone tipping us to get there with a spine containing Boyd as FB, Macca as hooker and Knik as halfback would basically be an idiot, regardless of how much talent we have in our forwards. I was more optimistic originally because I did expect Seibs to be bolder in his decisions and change the spine much earlier than he has. Admittedly that was silly on my part, because we had little choice and alternatives, not to speak of the impact that dropping the Broncos captain could have on such a young team. Left with a poisoned chalice, cleaning out ranks of undesirables in terms of effort was rightfully the first step to be taken by Seibs. Moving Knik out of HB second was also the right move, taking into account the politics of moving Boyd out, who is clearly our weakest link. Turps was a breath of fresh air, Milford back where he belongs at FB is definitely going to pay dividends and hopefully we get a couple of halves healthy long enough to build a partnership. Macca and Boyd are a complex issue, as the first is a very likeable bloke who always puts 101% percent of effort on the field, but cannot be our future at hooker, and the second is an icon of the club and its captain, who shouldn't be anywhere near a spine position ever again. This probably won't be addressed until next season though... [/QUOTE]
