Funny though, 12 months ago people would've said the opposite....

We've all got 20-20 hindsight.

The point is, i called it early.

Therefore i am the pinnacle of awesomeness. icon_smile

I'd still take Michaels.. Boyd had to be let go, there is no way we could afford him.

not all of us. i was right about michaels, as i am about everyone i lambast.

 

[ningnangnong]

I'd still take Michaels..

Haha, surely you are on a wind up?

Yeh Michaels is much better than Boyd. A current test match winger and origin winger who leads the count for most tackle breaks this season.

Michaels>>>>>>>>>>Boyd fo sho.

Michaels for life.

Pfft you're clearly not dude, you aren't an admin. :P

 

[ronnyd]

Most people will probably disagree with me, but i'd rather re-sign Boyd than Michaels.

Yo.

forward that post to broncos management, you might get a gig as a recruitment officer icon_thumbs_u

There's no doubting Boyd is the better player, just as there was no doubting Boyd would turn out the better player.

However, in the context of everything the correct decision was made. Last time i checked we weren't exempt from the salary cap..

At the time of this Michaels Vs. Boyd debate, i'm pretty sure Boyd's value wasn't in the region of what it was when he signed for the Dragons.

We don't know how much Michaels is on either. Hopefully it's a packet of peas and a tin of beans per match.

At least you can see that Boyd is the better player. icon_thumbs_u

I was supporting the Broncos before you got off your mumma's boob.

Therefore you must bow to my awesomeness icon_thumbs_u

I don't think we could have kept both players, i still maintain it was the correct decision. Would be nice to have him on the end of our backline, just like it would be nice to have Petero, Hannant and Ennis in the front row - but it just doesnt happen like that these days.

Boyd was one of the best fullback talents to hit the scene in years, despite an indifferent beginning to his first grade career there was no doubting he was on his way to higher honors. Clubs are always looking years ahead when it comes to shaping their rosters, this was no exception and is one of the few decisions Cullen has made that i agree with.

Agreed to a certain extent, that doesn't mean we still coudln't of had him on the wing for 2 or 3 seasons to win a premiership while Lockyer was here. I know every club looks LOOOOOONG term, but If I'm the Broncos, and I know I've said it a million times, we've got one more title under lockyer, he woudl have been a good short term aspect.
I do agree however, he would have eventually left the Broncos unless he wanted to establish himself as a centre, or they moved Hunt which I don't think they would do until he's too old for FB.

 

[Professor47]

^Oh and on Matuia - does he want to leave the sharks? or is this just an old jacked thread?

Yeh you said Lockyer should be moved to fullback [icon_lol1.

 

[QUEENSLANDER]

And ? it didnt happen so we will never know of its effectiveness or lack thereof.

You are more informed tho, i mean, you had massive wraps on michaels and look how good he has turned out to be

Oooooo!

 

[QUEENSLANDER]

In all fairness, Michaels did show consistant, quality form before he got injured last year..........

Well thats up for debate.

 

[MIKEY]

he actually was on fire before he got injured ..he was one of their best .
