worst news i've heard all knight..

 

[God-King Dean]

Let the 2011 fullback trials begin......

Is this the first time Boyd will miss a game for the Dragons (aside from rep games)?

 

[blacksafake]

Not good news,lets hope it's only three week's,but it will give us an indication of the future without him should he decide to leave.I wonder if Wayne will entertain the idea of using Kyle Stanley.He can play a similar role to Darius as an extra ball player.I'm reluctant to move Nighty as he is such a superb finisher & ever reliable as shown by his game today.

 

[God-King Dean]

Agreed Blacksafake.

Morris is a great player in the dry - but cringeworthy in the wet.

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Goodwin or Stanley perhaps?

 

[moik]

Bosden.

 

[Godz Illa]

Bosden.

lol he's a fullback now?

Give Stanley the 1.

or

Nightingale 1. Tagive 5.

Either way we're still in decent shape

i might be wrong but i thought he was out for a few games early last year with a injury

 

[hewi]

Should be a specialst fullback , therefore Goodwin first.

 

[Spot On]

Well, being linked to Newcastle now means he will be injured in some way for the rest of the season. The curse continues......

Haha too right.

Now.. Are we talking proper injuries, or those mysterious andrew johns style 'injuries'?

 

[TheRev]

Yeah its bad news, he will likely miss the Test side now, but still play 3 for QLD, so lets just hope the injury isnt an ongoing niggly one.

 

[The Nick]

This is great news!

Trust me, it's a blessing in disguise. Boyd's played a lot of footy the last few years and this will give him the opportunity to freshen up before origin.

Plus it gives us a rare chance to test our depth at a time when we're sitting in relatively comfortable position on the ladder. Blooding some youngsters at this stage of the season will put us in great stead at the backend of the season should injuries or suspensions occur.

I'm excited to see how Tagive handles his opportunity!

 

[Whos Ya Daddy]

Would have preferred Style of Goodwin at 1

 

[God-King Dean]

You like Goodwin's style?

 

[Whos Ya Daddy]

Apparently so

 

[Bring back choc]

Nightingale will fill in, but next year (if Boyd goes) I think Stanley will get te gig. Or possibly someone a new recruit. Not sure where tagive will find his opportunity in first grade outside of injury.
Wouldn't be surprised if he gets poached.

Terrible news, was a poor effort at attempting to beat Minichello aswell
