Message: [QUOTE="Number6, post: 2936898, member: 9008"] I agree hard to know what is going on behind the scenes. But it’s also an assumption to turn a lack of evidence of players unhappy with Boyd into positive proof he is a great captain. It could easily be they learnt from the rat drama and you dont talk smack about coaches son or a guy with a hard past without getting booted or at least looking like a d***. He is probably even liked well but doesn’t make you the right choice for captain. Agree with you about respect for toilers but toilers while very necessary are usually not sufficient to win premierships especially if you expect them to be the key. I disagree with revisionist history as well. I recall thinking Milf/Hunt was a bad idea from day 1. Doubt I was only one. Especially after Barba and Hoffman. Don’t think Hunt has been all he is cracked up to be at dragons but see how much better he looks when Widdop is helping him. Hunt is a running half who can do other things but is far from a traditional rounded halfback. Doesn’t matter what number 6 or 7 you put on his back he needs a specialist half with complimentary skills. He’s not the type of half who you can pair with a running 5/8 that comes in and out of the game when suits and expect sustained success at least without a clever game style and a lot of form and luck that was the cause in 2015. Especially when you put Macca at hooker and Boyd in rest of spine not a lot of playmaking and direction there. If Boyd isn’t a protected species or overstated importance tell me why the f*** he wasn’t given a few weeks off to heal or a run in centres or wing or time in QCup when he was literally on one leg at the start for season. He’s gotten better but blind Freddy could see he wasn’t fit for a walk on the beach let alone an NRL fullback? How did someone in that expensive football department not say this guy needs some time and rehab or at least ease him back into shape to get his confidence back? [/QUOTE]
