If the club come out and give a legit indication that Boyd is gonna be playing centre, I think we can safely say Bird is goneskies at some stage.

or they plan on playing Bird in the spine (6 or 1)
Haha you don't need it mate. I'm only being half serious. You may end up being right but I do genuinely believe elcapitano is past it. And I think the last 2-3 seasons back that up.

Yes it seems unlikely, but still possible. I don't see why most people want him to fail instead of having a fantastic year and the Broncos possibly winning the Grand Final.

I wouldn’t be wrong though. Boyd just would have somehow changed. I’d still be right about how he’s been the last two seasons.

Yes you would be wrong. Because you think he is past it and then if he has a good year it = Your Wrong. But I do realize it is a big "if" I just have a feeling it's not the end for old Barius Doyd!

Past it or not, I think he’s played too shit for 2 seasons to warrant selection. Which he has. If by some miracle of poor team management he is given another chance and kills it, I wasn’t wrong. Boyd just somehow decided to turn up again.

From my perspective I really never wanted Boyd to fail. I will admit that I have never really liked the bloke, but as soon as any player puts that Broncos jersey on I will support them.
What I will say is that I resent the fact that he has maintained his position within the side when players of lesser stature would not have. This leads to me complaining about Darius and potentially people such as yourself believing that I or others just wanted him to fail.

If they put him on the bloody wing might have been a different story. But ah well maybe this year.

Here we go again...
Issako letting an unmarked player in is the fault of the players inside him

Isaako consistently leaves his wing, leaving his opposite unmarked. I was coached never to leave your opposite unmarked no matter what. Have things changed?
In any case, my memory of him coming in is that he misses the tackle anyway.
This year Isaako was a defensive liability. He has to change in my book.

Always remember folks, we lost a Grand Final because Oates didn't care for this fundamental principle.

Isaako has copped major flack for his defence but he was often a victim of his inside defender's poor reads a lot. I am definitely not saying he is without blame, he did make poor decisions too.
However Turpin constantly jammed in, as did staggs and this left isaako alone, often marking 2 or 3 blokes. If he stuck on his wing when out numbered, the try would just be scored by a centre and an easier kick at goal.
The right side (and isaako's) defence was a lot better when dearden was out there who read the attack better than turpin and stuck on his man, allowing isaako to stay on his wing.
I think isaako will come good, yes it was a poor year for him but he trains hard and he will improve. If he practices catching highballs and reading plays with the same dedication he does with his kicking, I think he could develop into a good fullback, he may not have the best ball skills at the moment but he is agile, quicker than he appears and supporting our big forwards, he could do some real damage.
