That's 90% of the problem with Boyd- he is an automatic selection for any rep side, but he hasn't done anything to warrant it in the last 2-3 years. He knows that he can keep putting in efforts like he does and he will still end up on the wing playing alongside Inglis.

He needed to be dropped from the Australian team for the Anzac test and given a bit of a reality check.

Well, he hasn't been speared from the test side so he won't be getting a reality check anytime soon. Wayne will never drop him for obvious reasons and QLDerp selects it's players based on Origin form not club form.

I just hate the skirt.

Why Burwood? His form at the Knights has very little to do with his rep selections.

Like it or not he always performs for Qld and Aust so they keep picking him. Some may say that anyone can play on the wing outside Inglis but thats simplifying things too much.

It's not just him for the test side though. There's so many guys in that team that have not been the best in their position this year. It's a bit of a joke.

If it was up to me it would be Birdy swapped for Boyd at the GC. Boyd grew up on the GC anyway. Nate Myles would be even better. Imagine what those two would do for this team. The Titans forward pack is the best in the comp right now. As for Boyd's season he has been plain ordinary. He is a marquee. Time he played like it.

So I heard Gus say during the call last night that Darius hadn't yet made a tackle pretty late into the game, looking at stats today, he made 7 runs for 46m, made 1 tackle and missed 1.

At least he didn't put in a great performance for the test either. Maybe he's got stuff going on, he looks so disinterested.

If he put half as much effort into his work rate that he does to his sh1tty attitude, he would be an amazing player. I think it's downright disrespectful to his team mates the way he gets up so slow to play the ball almost all of the bloody time

He saw f**k all ball in attack and was required to do f**k all in defence. Just one of those games where they played through the middle. However he ran the ball back harder in his first two runs last night than he has in 8 games for us and that really pisses me off. He'll do the same with his kick returns for QLD. Merkin.

Mate, he played the same as he does for us, doing the bare minimum at half pace.

I'll argue he ran the ball back his first couple runs harder than he has for us all year. Much harder. Even made a few metres after hitting the line one run. Wow!

You've seen the way he acts in the media, he doesn't care what people think so why would he worry about this.

He's getting picked for AU and QLD and getting 500k from us, why would he care.

Plus the coach doesn't seem to mind.

What worries me is the Mamo is fast becoming the most outstanding young back in the game. We had better give this kid more game time or someone else will. Gorden Tallis rates him the fastest teenager he has ever seen off the mark.
