2019 Broncos Line-up

[Chewed]

"Tweed kicked out on the full just before the halftime siren sounded; leading Dearden to opt to take the two from halfway. He was successful and Wynnum Manly had an 18-0 lead at halftime."

Got a boot..

How good was Paul Kent calling out Inglis and Boyd? Inglis has couple injuries but by all reports Boyd is at 100% so he has no excuse for his lack of effort. He is clearly playing safe to he can see out the last 3 years of this contract. FML.

Off contract when Boyd is

Yeah but seriously if we are stuck with boyd for another 3 years we better get used to not playing in september. As it stands, we are a long shot of making the 8 if our spine doesnt change.

That's honestly insulting to the Women's team. They are champions. They won last year. Boyd hasn't won anything for a while and probably wouldn't make their squad.

He even appears to be coming last in the fun run.

Broncos captain Darius Boyd and Rabbitohs equivalent Greg Inglis are in danger of having their legacies tarnished in their final seasons. The pair are down on form, fitness and confidence and need to have some hard conversations, according to veteran journalist Paul Kent.
“I want to call bulls**t on Darius Boyd and what we saw the other night,” Kent told Triple M Footy.
“I think at some point he has got to have a conversation with himself about whether he wants to see out his career the right way.
“As players get towards the end of their career they have a choice to make and we saw recently with the likes of Billy Slater and Johnathan Thurston, who went out and really knuckled down.
“They gave themselves no opportunity to have their game’s questioned.
“Darius is getting towards the end of his career and he still hasn’t still hasn’t announced when he will retire, but we know it is not too far away.
“But he is playing like he is fragile and if he is not right then he has got to get himself right.”
Boyd has struggled in the first month of the season, especially with his defence.
The Brisbane fullback has been guilty of a lack of urgency at the back, most notably on two defensive reads against the Storm in Round 1 and again against the Roosters in Round 4.
Boyd was the last line of defence for Roosters’ forward Angus Crichton’s try and he appeared to make no effort to make a tackle.
Darius Boyd has lacked energy and assertiveness in both attack and defence. Darius Boyd has lacked energy and assertiveness in both attack and defence.
“Boyd just stood and watched and that was a play that lacked hunger from the skipper,” Phil Rothfield told Controversy Corner.
“The third man in might have saved that try. He’s missing Wayne Bennett, there is no doubt about that.”
After being premiership contenders prior to the season kick-off, the Broncos have slipped to a 1-3 record and desperately need their captain to lead from the front to dig them out of a hole.
Boyd is contracted until the end of 2021, but on current form the 31-year-old will be doing well to see out the end of his deal, when he will be 34.
Kent is also concerned about the fitness of South Sydney skipper Greg Inglis, after an injury interrupted 2019 campaign to date.
“The other guy who has got to have a serious conversation with himself is Greg Inglis, who is in a similar boat to Boyd,” Kent said.
“I know he gets upset when we bring up his weight, but he looks a little bit like Gorden (Tallis) in the Lycra.
Greg Inglis announced his retirement date two years out, with some doubting if he has enough petrol in the tank to go the distance. Greg Inglis announced his retirement date two years out, with some doubting if he has enough petrol in the tank to go the distance.
“But as you get to the end of your career players can go one of two ways.
“They either say, you know what this is the amount of time I’ve got left and I’m going to give it my all and get into it or they already start to have one eye on retirement and they just try to get to the end.
“And if you are trying to get to the end, as great a players as they are, they are not going to make their finish the way they want to make it.”
Inglis has announced that he will retire at the end of the 2020 season, when he will be 33.
However given his struggles with knee and shoulder problems, he too may struggle to reach the end of his current contract.
Wayne Bennett has shown a willingness to call time on player’s careers no matter what their standing in the game or club is.
Bennett will not let Inglis play, if he requires needles to get on the field and it remains to be seen if his banged up body can go the distance.
Boyd and Inglis may want the perfect ending, but so few in rugby league get the farewell they want and deserve.

I recognized most of them but who is the bloke on the end? That's to the left of Shorten and Boyd, trainer perhaps?

I think Boyd will be tapped on the shoulder this year and he might dig his heels in and say he's happy to play ISC for 750k a year. The Bronco's will likely have to pay him out, perhaps make him an offer to quit. I think I read somewhere that the last two years of his contract (20/21) are not really in his favour but I'm unsure in what way that is the case.
