Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2995889, member: 2221"] Disclaimer: I've never been a fan of Boyd as Fullback. I don't think he excels in any aspect, except perhaps organising the defense and executing the sweep play in attack. His desperation has always disappointed me in defense, his running game is pretty average, high balls aren't his strong point either, and he is one of the worst fullbacks sniffing around the ruck for lost balls or offloads. I will recognise he had two career years where he was indeed excellent (2010, 2016), but even then, I wouldn't put him near the truly great. Let's not forget that Boyd (despite being very good in 2016), almost gained the rep jersey with the no. 1 by default, as Slater was not the only player vying for the position who was injured or unavailable. Inglis, Tedesco, and even Tommy Turbo were all unavailable as well (I'm almost sure I am forgetting someone else), who I would rank above him at the time. That said, I probably regard Good higher than you do when it comes to players in the NRL. ;-) [/QUOTE]
