Darius Boyd for QLD!

"Default, the two sweetest words in the English language! De! Fault! De! Fault! De! Fault!"

Surely Casey MacGuire could fill this role better

Great, all NSW have to do is kick at Boyd all night, because of his great ability at catching a high ball.

Yes, he has been playing well. But very few of his tries are of his own making, and he lets so many in. He can barely defend at club level, how will he go at origin?

I could criticise this decision til the cows come home as well, but there's one glaring fact here.

Boyd > Tate.

That is all.

Wow. You do not watch rugby league. His defence has been excellent this season.

 

[Dexter]

I don't think he should be picked for Origin but your assessment of his form both in attack and D is just wrong broncosil

 

[broncosil]

He has massive problems under the high ball, in fact all of our outside backs, barring Hodges, have this problem. We concede a lot of tries on both wings.

I'm with you, window sil. Boyd has been solid at best this year. Finished some tries by just being where he should be, but nothing great and less than comfortable under the high ball, low ball, or middle ball for that matter.

NSW will destroy him.

 

[Foordy]

if he does get picked it will probably just make it that much harder for us to keep him. especially if he and his manager decide to raise his asking price because he played origin.

 

[fenomeno]

As bad as Tate has been playing, Boyd is not the better player, never will, I guess he's a bit safer then Tate.

We're not keeping him anyway...

As much as I love Darius, he's not ready yet. I hope that one day he is.

according to Cullen we are

Cullen said utility star David Stagg and young backs Darius Boyd and Joel Moon had exercised their options to remain at the club for 2009.

Oh ok - sorry...

Interesting.. eusa_think

 

[Jeza23]

I hope he doesnt get picked, we need him on friday night against the Dragons.

We will already be losing:

Hunt
Locky
Thaiday
Wallace
Hannant

It would be good for Darius experience wise but I dont know if he is quite ready, even though I said he should be selected for the 1st Origin.

He will do a solid job if picked.

 

[forward_pass]

Prince will choke - that is all

 

[mrslong]

If Darius is selected it would be the worst selection since.....Hunt at 5/8th. WTF is wrong with the selectors this year?

 

[SSS]

Is it April 1st?....nope.....surely that's a gee up.

 

[mrslong]

But Boyd if selected wouldn't be playing instead of Tate...he'd be playing along side him. TERROR in the STANDS!

Hunt is probably the safest player in the NRL under the high ball mate

I think Boyd would do alright in Origin, just tell him not to run infield when he gets the ball and all should go well.
