Message: [QUOTE="Jason Simmons, post: 3053928, member: 8275"] I agree with all of this, except Boyd should have just taken that tackle. Even if he had a support player, which he didn’t, he didn’t even look before he threw that pass. I understand his intention, but it was the wrong play, at that exact moment. I have been critical of him and that was the wrong decision, but I don’t crucify him for it. He tried to win us the game, but it wasn’t on. TPJ’s 2 back to back penalties were far more damaging, without them, we probably win 18-16, yet he gets a pass mark, while Boyd doesn’t... But Boyd is the captain, a 300 + game veteran, a truly decorated rep player and should have known that play wasn’t on. It didn’t cost us the game, it ‘may’ have cost us a win and it wasn’t the worst mistake made by us in those final minutes. But it was a mistake and I don’t think it’s too much to ask of our captain and easily most experienced player, that he not make the same sort of mistakes our rookies are making... [automerge]1563023542[/automerge] Get used to it. As unpalatable as it may seem, he seems to be the ‘rock’ around which the club has chosen to build the team... Only injury or sheer desperation mid-game seems to affect this mindset... [/QUOTE]
