Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2915407, member: 2221"] I knew you would be first cab of the rank defending Boyd, but at least quote me right. I don't deny he was good for us, and mentioned 2015 and 2016, the latter being his best year, and earning him a captaincy. What is bullshit are the excuses and fallacies about the players we had. Kahu proved very capable as fullback in the first half of 2015 while Boyd was recovering from his Achilles. Barba was only doing drugs a year later, at Cronulla of all places... what a surprise. Kodi Nikorima had played mostly fullback at the time, and quite well too. And of course, Anthony Milford was potentially the best of the lot. With the above, it doesn't matter whether Boyd was good and even the best fullback around in 2016 (his merit, but also luck, as all the competition was on crutches). We simply did not need a fullback when he was recruited, and the flow on effect led us to where we are. With Milford at fullback, we wouldn't be discussing Taylor leaving (and screwing us over according to you, which I don't agree with), and wouldn't be trying to fit a round peg (Milford, pun intended) in a square hole (Halfback). FTR, I never blamed the circumstances under which Wayne let Taylor go, but that's exactly my gripe with 2015, it fooled all of us! [/QUOTE]
