I do
Boyd is very average IMO. He doesn't break the line and has no support play.

He is underrated , he played his first year in a new team at fullback, his defense and hands are alot better then hayne. Boyd was the one of the best fullback carrying the ball back he was hard to tackle.Made more line breaks then hayne when carrying the ball backBoyd is very average IMO.

Boyd tried to get involve with teams plays, yes they may not have gelled the best , expecting it to be better this year
Hayne is not that good defense and under the high ball hayne is very suspect , and hayne will put himself before the team
thats the reason why hayne stands out more then boyd, the eels didnt and still dont have many attacking players in thier team and hayne is the main attacking player what eels really got
No it shown how poor the opposition was.Eels made the grand final though, so hayne must be pretty damn good if he's the main attacking player for them.

out of those you mention ok mateo & fui would be better then wendell as attacking player, the other dragons players you mention outplayed the eels players you namedYou dont rate Burt, Tahu, Inu, Grothe, Mateo, Mortimer, Fui at all as attacking players? But I suppose you think Creagh, Scott, Boyd, Wendell, Weyman and Soward as better attacking players?
See, this is why people think your an idiot, because you constantly confirm it.
out of those you mention ok mateo & fui would be better then wendell as attacking player
but the others i dont rate , where were Burt ,Inu ,Grothe for most of the year
the eels were amongst the worst attacking and defensive teams upto round 18 before they played sharks,warriors,knights,tigers,panthers
so it looks like you are the one who made the silly statement here
Thats only in your opinion , imo i havent made any silly statements yet:lol: Lets for the sake of it say that you are right, that makes 1 silly statement to me and your on about 4 figures worth. Tool!

I think Penrith got better money from their salary cap when Gower left, and improved their player stock in general. And I thing Peter Wallace is better than Gower.Do you think Luke Walsh or Jarrod Sammut or Wade Grahame are better then Craig Gower?

I think the point is that the world didn't collapse when those players left, and clubs improved within 1-2 years from the point at which those players departed. Yes, Gower won a comp (as did King), but Gower didn't arrest the decline from those heady days to the cellar. When Gower left it was like a clearing of the dead wood. Argument suggests that Gower leaving allowed Civo to sign - IMHO one of the best signings in the last 20 years by any club.
Gasnier left a hole in the NSW backline, but St George had a better year without him then any they had with him.
You forgot the Storm and Bulldogs... Who were in fact the first 2 teams we beat on our run.
The NRL would be a stronger competition with Gower, Gasnier, and King still playing in it. There is no spin that can suggest otherwise. Civo would still be playing in the NRL regardless of Gower, maybe not at Penrith, but that's irrelevant.
But Hayne said fellow elite players
Talk about overrating yourself
Hayne you are overrated you only played 6-9 games and only excel against weak defensive teams and teams didnt play thier best, Hayne you failed for the first 14 rounds , you failed at 5/8 you failed at centre
hayne you arent a play maker, you were the worst eels player at the beginning of the year
Until you can perform against the better teams then you may talk
btw, Hayne is an elite player, he brings fans through the gates and draws huge media attention to our game, we cant afford to loose players like Hayne and Thurston.
