Boyd on the wing not fullback. Inglis is the best player in the game.

That is not really the point, Boyd would make the Bunnies backline all be it on the wing just like origin.

Boyd will play fullback for you guys. The comment you responded to was that nobody in the Broncos backline is better than his opposite at Souths. Boyd's opposite is Inglis who he's certainly not better than.

Seriously? Hunt, Hodges, Boyd and maybe Milford.

Hunt is better than Reynolds? No. Boyd better than Inglis? No. Milford better than Keary? Not on current form or accomplishments.

Hodges better than Walker? That would be the best argument you have but it would be an argument of pedigree vs current form.

Yes he would. But he would not push Inglis out of his spot because he is an inferior fullback - which is my point

I'd take keary over Milford. Walker and hodges line ball, hodges still has plenty to offer. Inglis and Johnston obviously over whoevers playing for Brisbane there

Hunt is so much more of a complete half then Reynolds it isn't funny. It's a a ridiculous as saying McCullough is a better hooker then Luke.

Hunt carried us last year with a forward pack going nowhere, as a half that's the hardest thing to do, you can't argue that.. Reynolds has a solid kicking game but he's not going to carve you up with his running game and for me having a half who isn't afraid to run the ball is far more dangerous than a guy who just kicks it

Hunt is a better player than Reynolds, whether you can concede it or not

Hodges has done nothing in the last 3 years. No team in the comp would take him ahead of Walker. Walker is an established star, he isn't some potential filled kid.

He carved up the 9s with his running and kicking game and was player of the tournament.

He is the Rabbitohs general on the field. Also the best kicking game in the comp and the best defensive half in the comp. Wouldn't swap Reynolds for Hunt.

I do think Hunt is a great player though, and he really impressed me at international level. I just think he lacks the game controlling ability that Reynolds has.

lol hodges has still been performing at rep level. Walker was the worst player in the whole 4N tournament.

When referencing 9s form please take this into account; Blake ayshford made the team of the tournament

Put it this way, if hunt plays for souths last year souths still shit the comp in

If Reynolds played for Brisbane do the do any better? I'd say they finish about 12th.

having a running game in the 9's doesn't take a whole lot of courage, you're not going to get belted into oblivion and the blokes you're running at aren't going to be a whole lot bigger than you

on the topic of Hodges and Walker, Walker was all at sea in the 4N, Hodges is a walk up starter for every rep team he makes himself available for, I don't know what you can possibly say to dispute that
