I too would like to see Moon get a run in the centres if the opportunity comes up.

You're joking right?
Later in the game on our fifth tackle, Wallace put up a kick, no one challenged and Michaels had a complete air swing at catching it, it went straight between his arms.
If he couldn't catch that one, how is he going to catch a much higher one which is contested?
No, I'm not joking.
Michaels is one of the best defensive wingers in the comp.

I'm never a fan of blaming ANY winger for the sort of tries we were conceding last night. We were facing a 4 on 1 overlap on many occasions last night - a winger in that situation is damned no matter what he does. Coming in off his wing to try and wrap up the ball is what has to be done.

That's great although i still disagree with you.
He defended pretty well against Israel Folau last season ay? And yet, you say Michaels is better than Folau.

Well done! You've managed to name 1 (one) instance where Michaels made a few mistakes on the wing. IIRC that was really the only time he screwed up last season - and he played every game.
If Folau ran at Folau, the defending Folau would have done a much worse job as well. I rate wingers mainly on their defense, which is why I rate Michaels a bit higher than Folau at this point in time...even though everyone will disagree.

I am going to get fkn sick of hearing this sort of comment. Those who have criticised Boyd for 2 average seasons have every right to do so and were correct. I was one of them and I will continue to be if he fades back to nuffiness again. However, I am equally keen to give him praise for his consistancy so far this season. Just because he's playing well now doesn't mean we were wrong to point out his weaknesses when he was weak.

And anyone - and there are lots of you, who knocks Michaels at centre - like you GCB - ought to pull your head in.

I have never actually knocked Michaels in the centres, in fact I have said I prefer him in the centres at present then I do out on the wing, I think his a good up and coming centre who unfortunately faces an uphill battle to retain his spot if the Broncos see Folau as a centre, it may even force him to leave because he doesn't want to play out on the wing, but thats his choice if he doesn't want to be apart of the team and I wish him well elsewhere(trust me I'll be disappointed if it comes down to this) if playing centre is more important to him, ultimately the club has to utilise its players in the most suitable position they believe to be, hell if they believe Folau is best utilised on the wing I won't have a problem with that really, I may prefer him in the centres but ultimately I believe they will make the right choice.
rnabokov said:The try Michaels set up for Boyd was sheer class - as some have said, it reminded one of Renouf. I reckon by season's end, Michaels is going to end up as one of the top centres in the game.

Can someone tell me Parker didn't get injured?
I don't know whether to believe a filthy titans supporter (My dad [icon_lol1. ) or not!

Sheer class?
All he did was out pace a second rower and then draw and pass.
Top centres in the game? [icon_lol1.
Michaels is a solid player, nothing more.

He did more than that, he positioned himself, stepped and used sheer pace before drawing and passing - and it did remind me of one of Renouf's repetoires.
Geez, what do you want him to do (that Renouf didn't): backflips, somersaults, tap dancing?
What are you - Polish or something (like me) [icon_lol1. [icon_razz1
