I think that was the best game Darbs has played for us in over two years. Having said that, it was not RTS or Tedesco type footy. However, not wisshing to take anything away from his four try assists last night he has set himself a very low standard to surpass at present. Hope he is able to remain this consistent for the rest of the year. We desperately need to get some semblance of a functioning spine for next year. Having Darbs there for the rest of the year might allow us to bed in Dearden, (MIlf?) Turps and Paix. I question Milf as i think he is past his use by date and I'd rather see Paix or even SOS (when fit) having a run there.

Based on his performance last night, I have to say he was better again last night and I went off too early.
Easily the best Boyd we’ve seen in a long time. I’m not saying he was elite, but credit where it’s due. He was involved, revving the boys up and setting up tries - he couldn’t have done a lot more.
If he stays at 1, which he should, and continues to play like he did last night then I am happy to eat humble pie.

My take on it is a little different.
It is now very obvious he's been passively-aggressively going through the motions ever since Seibold arrived. Last night's game demonstrated he's been capable of much more than what we've been seeing. What we got last night was an NRL standard footballer in his position. He wasn't Tedesco-level good, but he was good enough to make any mid table team as fullback, without copping shit for being a dead weight and an embarrassment. It was the Darius Boyd we thought we were signing.
That's compounded by this today in the CM, which names him as fittest in the club. I mean, seriously, what the **** have we been watching unfold with this UTTER ****. He has resisted pressure from his coach, fans, past players, and every commentator to lift his game, and only now, when gets his old position back and he's winding down to his testimonial match and thinking about his move into the media or whatever does he decide to pull his finger out.
So yes, he put in the performance we'd expect from a veteran marquee player in his last few games but seriously, he can get fucked for making us endure the shit that went before it.
Meanwhile his team has been accused of lack of leadership, finds itself at the bottom of the table and the coach being sacked. Great timing, you massive fucking dildo.
Darius, you're a fucking ****. Our position on the table is a reflection of what a cancer you've been on this club.

Yes credit where it's due, he actually contributed last night. The sulking gap in the field he's been up until last night will hopefully not be back once he gets comfortable.
However I'm worried that the arm-flinging, ref-beseeching non-tackler is not that far under the surface as evidenced by that embarrassing, pathetic dive he took which simply allowed their line to get set as we were coming out of trouble.

I don’t have any comment to make regarding your theory.
What I will say is that for such a strong bloke in the gym, Ofahengaue is as soft as pillows on the field.
He also has an incredibly low football IQ. Haas must be livid knowing they’re on the same coin...

I think the armchair psychologists are wrong again unfortunately. Boyd was playing poorly in Bennett's last year, so there's probably more to it than just spite.

About Darius, and what Darius said, Joel Gould on nrl.com
"Boyd left nothing in the tank in his best game of the year and was talking to his teammates in defence all night about where to be positionally. He was leading them to water, but he couldn't make them drink.
The defensive line fell apart late on and Boyd said some players had stopped talking. He also wondered out loud whether some players were just satisfied being in the Broncos team."
And there's a lot more
"At the moment, a lot of the guys are still learning and when we conceded a few tries we weren't talking and that's the key. You don't talk for one play because great players like Shaun Johnson and Wade Graham will find you out."
When asked whether he thought he would play in his favourite position of fullback for the rest of the year, Boyd said to "ask the coach".

Boyd passes ET but there are Broncos traits he's 'sick of'

Occams razor - he was injured and mentally cooked, he’s realised he’s not injured anymore and isn’t as scared to put his body on the line.

If he was white anting the coach then great work Boyd, you saved us three or possibly more years of Seibold.

Occam was a bum: his "razor" favours the personal bias in believing your own explanation is the most obvious one. Bringing you back to square one.

He is a club champion after all. All these years of copping abuse has been to cut out the coach who was never up to it. That’s a captain taking a bucket load for the club then?
