Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 3054075, member: 2221"] Mate, I rate Boyd as a great player in the 3/4 line, where he was a mainstay for Australia and Maroons. I absolutely believe he could still be very good for the Broncos there as well. My problem is and has always been his ability as Fullback! You can't bring up his career in the rep arena to defend him as a Fullback, because with the exception of 2017 where he kinda of went there by default (thanks to a great 2016 and everyone else above him being injured), he pretty much always played on the wing. The Clive Churchill medal is based on a single game (even if it is the Grand Final), and has little relevance to a player's career. Brent Kite, amongst a few other middle of the pack players I can't remember, won one too... does that make him a great? He is and has been bog average with the exception of 2 seasons (2010 and 2016) as Fullback, which is pretty much par for the course in regards to Macca's career as a Hooker. That is the only comparison I am making and yes, there probably is a degree of rating Boyd way less than you, and Macca certainly a bit more (again, in the discussed positions). As to Taylor, Bennett made very clear he was no chance of getting a look in any time soon, because he was never going to move Boyd for Milf, and Hunt + Milf had a mortgage on the 2 halves positions. Given the above, I agree with what Bennett did, encouraging Taylor to go somewhere else, and I also understand why Taylor decided to stay at the Tits, given their offer (including bringing a coach who would build a team around him) and the fact he had been shown no faith from the Broncos coach at the time. It is obvious now that he fucked up big time with that choice, but hindsight is always 20/20... Drama Queen! 🤪 [/QUOTE]
