The take-away from that was in his own words "daunting" and he is relying on 4 other players to be there to help him Captain. Those are not the words of a leader, they are the words of someone who is uncomfortable in the role that has been thrust upon him.

I see your point, but getting on the drink and doing something stupid and having difficulties coping with everyday life and everyday situations (depression) are two different things. If you go back to the days before every players movement or public outing was captured by a phone and or posted...

Best number 9 in history is a big call but I would have to agree with you. He is also gracious in both defeat and winning, unlike the grubs from NSW that he plays against. I will never forget what CH9 did to him on the eve of Origin a couple of years ago just to try and upset Queensland's...

Not sure why you would think speaking about Mental Health is offensive, it is a fact of life. No one wishes anyone they know or love to have it but a large percentage of the community has at some stage had to deal with it. The fact that the Darius suffered from it and came out of it the...

You seem to have trouble comprehending what my thoughts are on this subject. Re-read the posts above and you will see what I said with regard to what he should be paid. I don't want to have to explain it a third time, if you don't get it then, just forget it.

Never said he would be touched by God but I did say that his latest incident probably would not have happened had he been made Captain. My comments are neither ignorant or offensive. I do not personally attack other posters, just post my opinion, if you disagree that's fine, I disagree with a...

Correct. A better mental state to be Captain, yes. I was. Yes. No I suggested it prior to that incident. However had he been named as Captain prior, that incident probably wouldn't have happened.....

Wow, you're the first person on this site to publicly agree with me. Probably the last as well. :ninja: But either way, lets hope the scenario does not take place and he handles the pressure well, but I can't see it happening.

I see you are trying to use group mentality by using the "enlighten and amaze us all" as though you speak for everyone. I post my thoughts, as myself and I would hope you only speak for yourself as well. Instead of trying to bait me into an argument how about just either agreeing or...

Time will tell.

I never said that, I said the club should not pay overs for him and that I would prefer if he stays. Nice try at insulting me and trying to put words into my mouth but you failed.

No worries. Yes and No. I would not like to see him leave, but if he demands an unreasonable figure that would see us sign him at the expense of maybe 3 or 4 up and coming players with ability then I would say cut him loose. Obviously it is dependent on many things and ultimately up to the...

I agree with you and there is nothing wrong with that. No, not at all. I believe he does not have the mental toughness needed to be Captain and that the role will overwhelm him and affect his game. I might write a book one-day, I will send you a free copy. You just posted some of the very...

Roger that.

If only I could do charades on the internet.... To answer your first question, the market value is what the market (any team) is willing to the pay the most for him. EG If Canberra offered him 2M per season over 4 years, that would be his market value, because that is what "the market" is...

My words never came back to bite me, you just disagreed and tried to use my own words against me but failed. Kudos for trying though, super effort.

No mate I am serious, I don't think he has the mental toughness for the role, given his previous bouts of depression and I think the added pressure will affect his game.

Looks like I have already been proven correct in my assessment of having Boyd as Captain, he breaks down at the press meeting. Not a good sign. Do you lot really believe he has the mental toughness to be Captain and that the added pressure will not affect his game? Lets wait and see but if...

He is mentally not stable enough for the job. He broke down at the press conference, how is he going to handle big games as the leader? He won't be Captain by the end of the year, if things don't go his way he will have a meltdown again...

I wrote - A players worth is what the market will pay,..........That is a fact. but their worth to the team and club overall and prior form should be taken into account before big amounts of money are thrown around......and that is not a fact but should apply when considering a players contract...
