Message: [QUOTE="gUt, post: 3148814, member: 1766"] **** Boyd. The best thing he has done since 2010, when he wore another jersey, is stand outside Inglis for Qld and fall over the line when required. That and front up to some tough post-game interviews this year. People go on about his 'leadership'. What fkn leadership?? At training? Fat lot of good it appears to be doing. In defence? Every game he is in the immediate vicinity of at least one vital missed tackle. In attack? I'm in the realm of pure fantasy now. His only motive for still being out there is to collect his fat pay cheque. I don't blame him for that particularly but let's not pretend there's anything else to it. Fucking 'leadership'. If he was a leader he would drop himself, at least to the wing, and fight to get back into the side where he wants to play, presumably fullback now there appears to be an opening. This would maybe inspire the likes of Isaako, Niu et al to lift as well. Instead he skulks around the field stifling the attack, confusing the defense and looking utterly bored when yet another try is let in by the team. Compare his general demeanor with Kieran Foran. Foran is another ex-great who has fallen a long way since his peak. He's another supposed leader in a really substandard side. Unlike Boyd, Foran plays with a host of (at best) niggling injuries every week. Unlike Boyd, Foran plays with the huge pressure of being the main playmaker on his shoulders. And unlike Boyd, Foran plays with competitiveness and passion and genuinely seems to want to be out there. Boyd is just a mopey **** with nothing to offer in any capacity. Move him to fullback? Just play without a fullback and have an extra centre next to Boyd to help him out. I mean why not? What difference would it make? At least we wouldn't be promoting a **** who has obviously regressed in all facets of the game since he was deemed not good enough to wear the number 1 jersey. [/QUOTE]
