if Staggs is fit he should be playing. Is Lodge dropped or what, this makes no sense.

 

[Kooly87]

You honestly can’t make this shit up anymore.

They have to get through training this week first before they are promoted to the starting side..

They are returning from injury earlier than expected.

Corey Oates went from being dropped then to the bench, having a shyte of a game and now starting. That will do me.

 

[ostin86]

It was too good to be true.

Seibolds is all about the non performance based rewards lol. What an idiot.

Surely Seibold has $500 on the dogs to win

No i just said others are running less than him, the other players i mentioned were others who are performing as poorly, if not more-so than Boyd, in other areas.
Boyd is in poor form, like i said, but he is far from the worst on the team if you look at all the stats.
My point is, he is a scapegoat, dropping Boyd wont magically win us games, same as dropping any other player.
If you drop Boyd for his form on the field, then there is half a dozen others you gotta drop as well.

As for the other stats, they are easy to find on NRL.com

Players with more penalties than Boyd - Haas, Milford, Lodge, Carrigan.
Players with more errors than Boyd - Coates, Oates, Isaako, Farnworth.
Players with more handling errors than Boyd - Coates, Isaako, Farnworth
Players with more ineffective tackles than Boyd - Croft, Flegler, Luke, Haas,

There's more but i really couldn't be arsed fishing them all up.

Boyd has been shuffled around on purpose to minimise his involvement. You have less handling errors when you don’t touch the ball, and less penalties when you’re not making as many tackles. Besides, these stats don’t reflect his multiple failures at critical moments when games are in the balance. These are the moments when ‘leaders’ who are paid well for their experience need to take control, not just the game itself but motivating the troops to dig in at certain points of the game.

He is a veteran, his play influences the large group of young guys. Some of these kids are barely out of high school. They are looking for guidance and Boyd is showing them how to not give a toss, how to not communicate, how to sigh and complain to the ref while giving up on a play. We have a group of kids playing like Boyd now.

Yeah so turns out if you have a cry to the media about the coach he will then start you again the following week in the position you claimed you actually didn't want to play.

This coach is taking the piss.

 

[Wolfie]

Why are people arguing about stats. They don't mean shit.

Think lodge is injured but don’t know about staggs.
He should be on of the first picked if fit.

So who gets the flick for Staggs if fit. Has to be Boyd but will not be from the looks.
I am dumbfounded after all this hot air coming out of the club.
They obviously leaked that there would be people being dropped and then all these guys had to do is come to training and swear on their Grannies grave that they would do better and they are right back on the list. Nobody is being held accountable, what is Siebs doing playing mind games with his players like this. Just play who you say you are playing and drop who you are dropping. This guy may have lost the plot.
