Badel quotes Seibold in the CM. Repeat of yesterday's story but different source.
Seibold scoffed at talk Boyd will be punted back down to ISC, but won't name him at captain yet. Glenn and Lodge are the other main contenders. Says the 317-game NRL veteran is too valuable as the most decorated player to put him to pasture. Denies saying any of the players are "on notice" but has said to them what needs to be said. And he's not happy about all the speculation.
Sure, whatever.
Points out Darius has a " lot of deposits in the bank" and that the Broncos "don’t have too many guys who have won premierships" let alone two. Notes he is a "special person off the field" and has the same opportunity as everyone else to make the opening match.
Yawn.
Won't comment on speculation that Boyd will be dumped as captain. Wants to keep their conversations "private," but confirms that while he's been training at centre he could start on the wing. Staggs looks like a lock-in as one centre. The question is whether Bird takes the other. Boyd started out as a winger at the Broncos in 2006. He and Glenn are the only players over 30, but Seibold says the squad is a good mix. Says there's stiff competition for spots, and it's really important they get six or eight weeks to really build "cohesion and connection."
Rinse and repeat.
