Barba vs Boyd

[BEJAZZLED]

For crying out loud Kahu was listed as a reason why we don't need to sign another fullback, that was the context of my post. Not denying he has talent, not denying he has skill, simply stating that a player that has never played fullback for anything higher than the u20s isn't a case of "hey, don't worry we have fullback sealed"

He played there against the Warriors in a televised trial and was woeful. Dropped like 3 bombs.

When was that?
I thought he got injured in the Redcliffe match and did not play against the Warriors

Yeah he didn't even play in that match, don't know who [MENTION=8701]BEJAZZLED[/MENTION] watched.

ABC's Australian Story has started filming for story on Darius Boyd.

I wonder why we haven't officially signed Boyd yet?

I figured with Hoffman, Kennedy & Hala all officially out of the club for next season we'd see an announcement almost immediately. What's the hold up? Knights pre-season starts on Monday, it'd be pretty funny if Boyd has to go.

Still trying to convince the wife maybe

I'm actually on the no-Boyd wagon now, since there's no way he would be playing on the wing now that Milford is in the halves.

I'm also on the no-Barba wagon too though.

Plenty of space for Thaiday too.

Re: The Wayne Bennett Super thread!

When did I claim that?


Ok, so what changed in those months? Because I don't recall Barba getting worse, or Boyd getting better?

As I said in my post. Confirmation it had nothing to do with Milford and also more coming out about his illness

I'm moving this to the appropriate thread.

What does Milford have to do with Barba vs. Boyd? The fact he has been confirmed as the 5/8 should only make things clearer.

These are the posts I am talking about, this one where you clearly indicate Boyd isn't that much of a fullback on the 22nd July 2014:

When he went to the dragons it was because the broncos didn't want him and Bennett saw him as usual as a fullback.

When he went to the knights he was one of the top fullbacks in the game and Bennett needed him.

He is no longer one of the top fullbacks in the game, and seeing half our team
Are fullbacks Bennett doesn't need him.

And another, where you specifically replied to my question whether we should get rid of Barba in favour of Boyd on the 4th August 2014:

- Should we get rid of Barba in favour of Boyd, as many people seem to think will happen (and yes, I know this is purely rumour without any other base than the fact Boyd has followed WB everywhere). no of course we shouldn't, but that is just wild speculation. Surely I'm not expected to respond to every piece of shit Matthew johns or the media spew out. At this point there is no guarantee Boyd will even play footy again, or at least in the best future. We have no idea the status of his depression. That's crazy speculation but if you want an answer, no I don't think barba should go for Boyd provided that his form keeps improving

As you can see, and you can check the original post, there is not mention of Milford anywhere. Barba's form did improve, and Boyd's... well, he didn't play much after that, between his stay at a clinic and subsequent holiday.

Newcastle have released Boyd.

Knights release Boyd - Knights

 

[Kimlo]

Lol, the picture they used is him playing against us.

 

[morethanjack]

We might be in for a couple of rocky days in this thread

 

[Charmamba]

Swerve, he signs for the Raiders.. The only club stupid enough to pay overs for average talent.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Darius Boyd is the next Darren Lockyer.

Darius Boyd is the next Darren Lockyer.

I hope by that you mean now retired.

 

[Unbreakable]

The details of the release are a confidential matter between management and Boyd.

That sounds to me like the Knights might be paying a bit of his salary.. Anyone else?

If we're going to speculate, then...

That sounds to me like wishful thinking... WB and Boyd don't want people to know how far the ridicule goes.
