Message: [QUOTE="Russo, post: 2082488, member: 1779"] So you are saying these players were hopeless in attack, you really have no idea do you. Yes defence may have been more their strength (not sure re Geyer) but nearly all played SOO and Test footy, won games for their sides in both attack and defence, 2 were champion goalkickers, and all 4 for long periods of their careers were first picked each week for their respective teams. I have been quite in this thread as those that know me well know that I am an unabashed fan of Boyd's and what he does for the Broncos. This crap about WB only picking him cause of family problems is absolute crap as WB does not work that way as evidenced by him dropping Darius last year when his form dropped away. Trig you started this thread to ask a few questions and even say this is not an attack on his ability, but in the end that is all you have done through the whole thread is attack him. Every year we have the same thing crop up. The guy has scored a hattrick in week one, and then the matchwinner in round two, is top 5 in metres returned, is actually playing out of position on the wing (he is a better fullback), has a great formation with Michaels on the left which means WB doesn't need to worry about that side of the field (both attack and defence, but his centre passes to the winger), yet folks here still criticise his kick returns and sideways running. He does not have the size of Sailor or Tuquiri or other bigger wingers we had. The likes of Carne and Hancock ran sideways all the time to find the hole in the advancing defensive line, and as Chris as said this is what he has to do on coaches orders (Robinson is doing the same). Leave him alone, let him continue to play good football and score tries, and get on him to be the NRL's leading tryscorer for the year. [/QUOTE]
