I don't think he would want it, he doesn't handle failure very well and if we lose a few games in a row, his former condition of depression could relapse.

Better to keep his mind on the job organizing from the back and ensure the he continues in his current role maintaining a constant homeostasis.

Seriously? There is no way he isn't named captain in January.

 

[Big Pete]

Of all the Broncos, Darius is by far the most worthy.

I'm so proud of his development as both a professional and a person.

@jd123 I respect your opinion, who would your alternative be?

 

[Broncoman]

Does anybody seriously think Bennett would pick anyone but Boyd though?

 

[Big Pete]

Considering it would be the first time in 12 seasons together...

I like what Mccullough brings but Boyd is the obvious choice. Leads from the front. Always gives 110% and has the respect of all the players.

Boyd is an absolute legend. I have so much respect for the bloke for the way he managed to turn his life around - it takes a bloody strong person to do that.

No one else even comes close when we're discussing the next captain.

Boyd deserves it.

 

[Morkel]

Not sure if I've said it before, but Boyd reminds me of Cronk. Probably not the most talented but absolutely meticulous in terms of training and prep. Not naturally playmakers but work so hard that they replace raw talent with mechanical perfection.

 

[Sirlee oldman]

Great choice. I hope it empowers him to take control of our attack as well as defence. Premiership in his first year as captain if he does.

Boyd leads by example and he was pretty much our captain at the back end of the year this year
our great leaders have been the most vocal ones like locky, Tallis and hodges. I just hope he follows in their footsteps

Wtf he can't even give a good interview, let alone being the player in the team to have the most attention on him. I think it should be Thiday or Hunt

Have you even watched Boyd in the last 2 years?

Thaiday was captain and it was to much pressure for him.

Obviously not.

Boyd has been good in interviews since he came back. He was good in the post-match press conference when he was captain against Souths.

 

[Porthoz]

I couldn't give a rats arse about interviews, but Boyd has shown plenty of leadership on the field since he came back, especially last year under Cozza's captaincy.

To me it's either him or Macca, simples!

You are judging him on how he conducts interviews? He has improved dramatically in that area anyways. Your two options are not realistic. Boyd will be the next Bronco skipper and rightly so.

Boyds demeanor nowadays is perfect for captaincy.
