Boyd

[Newynut]

Watch the reply on the NRL site and look at the trys he let in and make your mind up then, it is more than out of touch with form.

How many adult 1st grade players cry at half time?:shock:

He made errors today but I only see 2 unforced errors on the stats till this week. Have I got the wrong stats.

 

[Newynut]

Found it he has made 5 errors total, 2 against st george in the first game.
Only 1 today not bad for an nrl fullback out of form.

 

[Yosh]

I personally would love to know what the real reason is. The team performance made me want to cry today as well...

 

[Newynut]

Maybe Bennett should be the one crying.

 

[macavity]

Pretty sure it was after full time, not at half time.

Like i said, watch the highlights and make your mind up. Stats don't tell you everything about how a player is going.

 

[Newynut]

I didnt want him after game 1 I dont see anything thats changed just he hasnt made many mistakes, I thought he would.
A friend doesnt want him because he dosent contest for the ball. We dont know that supercoach hasnt ordered him to let the wingers do the work or do you.

He obviously has something wrong maybe they had a row in bed.

 

[adamkungl]

Maybe he was upset because the crowd was mean to him.

Thats what I thought but I swear NBN said halftime.

Meanies.

Look, the blokes had a hard life and is an aloof character at the best of times. He's well and truly out of sorts at Newcastle and he hasn't looked keen all year.

Its not clicking for the Knights and I reckon he didn't know how good he had it at Saints.

I hope the bloke is OK, but if he ain't happy, he needs to get out for the good of the team.

And go back to the Stains? :sarcasm:

 

[The Showstopper]

The boys should rally around him over this. He needs to know he is part of the team. One of the lads. If he wants to go, as will be speculated, then so be it. His nan raised him when his mother could not for whatever reason. None of our business. I just hope he is ok cos he seems like a nice fella who is very shy.

Your mob is on the decline. Worry about your own thug nuffies.

 

[perverse]

He's playing like a right prat at the moment. His slow play the balls were all after he felt he had received too much attention in the tackle and felt he should be getting a penalty. perhaps he would have got one with a red V on his chest, who knows. He looked to be trying to catch the defense offside with that little double pump before he played the ball. schoolboy stuff.

He's pissing me off, he's clearly a bit of a princess. When things are going right for us he'll be our best mate, though.

 

[aqua_duck]

Tbh I'd be crying too watching the forwards drop the ball 3 out of every 10 sets and giving away stupid penalties on the last tackle. I'd be upset too seeing the opposition fullback catch the ball on the full on the 30m line every kick and then having to defuse a bomb every set of 6.
I honestly don't know what people expect from him when the forwards are playing like absolute trash and as a result we only get 2-3 sets of 6 inside the opposition 20 the entire game

 

[Johns Magic]

I've never been a fan of his as a player, and was hoping he was just one of those guys who had to be in your team for you to appreciate.

But I have seen nothing to change my mind at this stage.

I'd prefer Gidley at the back, and that's saying a fair bit.

lol.......

 

[Serc]

After yesterday I was going to say something similar, certainly in defence anyway...something along the lines of "I really miss Gidley's effort and positioning in defence" but I'm going to sit back and see how this pans out, though thats easy to say when Boyd will most likely have the rest of the year to himself at fullback.

 

[Newynut]

What gets me is that I thought he would make lots of mistakes in defence but he hasnt.

He is just doing enough to survive and we are used to more.

definitely a fair point, although I stand by what I said in the gameday thread.
