Message: [QUOTE="bazza, post: 2762611, member: 8440"] I know Boyd has been one of our better players, but I really get irritated when Boyd is out of position and he show's no urgency to get back to the loose ball and is often just ball watching while the opposition player runs through and just steals it right from under his nose. This happens especially when the kick is aimed towards the uprights and it seems like he doesn't know whether to attack it, or let it hit the post, and in the end he just freezes. He just stands there and doesn't show any desperation to clean up the loose ball and we get put under more pressure, either because a try is scored or we have to defend another repeat set. Other times, when he feels its a knock on or an obstruction, he just stops playing and raises his arms in the air to appeal to the referees. How about actually playing to the whistle and letting the referees do their job, while you do yours, which is play football? He did this when Blake ran the length of the field. As soon as it happened, his arms were in the air, and in the end he was out of position to stop Blake from running the distance. The other thing that gets to me, is when Boyd and Milford try to earn a penalty and take an eternity to get up to play the ball. They just shake their heads and almost stop playing, staring at the referee. This really annoys me. How about showing some desperation to actually get a quick play the ball, and if the opposition players are hanging off you while your trying to play the ball, you'll get the penalty? [/QUOTE]
