Boyd might have been a top of the line player for the Dragons but he never was for us.

Depends on the criteria I guess but how does Lewis qualify as a club great? I guess for bringing eyes to the club?

Seriously?
He was arguably the best fullback in the comp in 2015 and 2016. Frankly I don't think he was bad in 2017 either. He played on too long but people have short memories if they think he was never any good for us. There wasn't anyone better at setting up the outside men and he was reliable as hell at the back.
I said all summer the Broncos haven't signed him; he is just at Wynnum.

Even if you count those two seasons towards his credit, Walsh has put in just as many good seasons for us (two) and drove us to the premiership. Boyd played 2 seasons too long, his last one was awful, and no one should ever forget his gender-reveal after the whistle blew on us winning our only ever wooden spoon.

Boyd did stick around way too long, it was embarrassing for the club and showed a complete lack of guts from the organisation.
But the gender reveal drama thing I never really gave a shit about. It was mates getting psyched for the Boyd family having a baby, I don't think we need a ban on players being happy about something else after a loss, even a big one. We should just be thankful it was one of the few gender reveals that didn't start a catastrophic bushfire or down a passenger jet

As voted by the readers.
Not to be confused with the fans.
Darbs would barely make my Top 50.
The way I see it, he had four good seasons here, four bad seasons and 2017 where he played well up to a point but then his body started breaking down.

Didn't think of it like that.Is that because most fans can't read...?
I don't think the 'readers' can think for themselves and parrot what they 'think' the Courier Mail wants.
I'm still at a loss at Brad Thorn at #4.

Did you just equate Brad Thorn to Crowded House?
That is the first time in human history that has ever happened.

NGL, I gave myself a pat on the back for the Wally comparison.
Still, imagine a Broncos Mt. Rushmore and Brad Thorn is right there next to Locky, Alfie and Wally.

I see what you mean. You imagine that 4th spot in your head and it goes to either Webby or Kev.
