Re: [Rumour] - Broncos to sign Darius Boyd

Agree, but that play involving Boyd has been rather unsuccessful in recent years. Plus Khunt was better at it. He didn't just rely on that one play, he could sum up the situation that he was presented with by playing what's infront of him. He knew when to pass, kick or run himself. On top of that, the outside-inside ball from Lockyer-Thaiday-Khunt was magical, and is something the Storm have copied and take all the credit for.

It was that exact play, with Boyd summing it up perfectly and running in a try, that leveled the scores & took us to golden point in Lockyer's last game.

But Cam Smith is the captain... he can say whatever he wants to anyone he wants. McCullough is not a captain... hence he can't say much to his captain.

Do you honestly think someone like Ryan Hinchcliffe would tell Smith what to do if he was screwing up? No. He wouldn't say anything because Cam Smith is his captain.
I think a part of being a great captain is knowing you're not infallible and that you're willing to be 'instructed' where necessary.

Yeah, but Boyd only seem's good on the sweeping play when it is down the left hand side of the field. In comparison, KHunt was equally adept on both sides of the field.

Yeah, and he knew when to grubber, pass or run... Boyd is fairly good at it on the left, but doesn't have the vision or creativity to do something different when needed, which is why that play had been less and less effective under WB, as teams generally know what to expect from Boyd.
 
Re: [Rumour] - Broncos to sign Darius Boyd

So, Boyd was going to be getting 750 k a season but more likely the first Bronco at 1 million a season according to AP. However it's reported he will be on 400 k a season over three years. Mmmm I'm wondering if Newcastle are chipping in . What do you have to say to that AP ? We're you,gag gag splutter ..........wrong ?

We aren't allowed to speculate on wages unless we get a written statement from the players manager confirming their official wage, remember?

I don't for one second believe Boyd signed for $400k. Hes a 21 game Origin hero, Australian Rep, Grand Final winner, and the almighty Clive Churchill Medal winner. He would not have taken a >$200k pay cut.

No. The correct answer is I got that wrong. So ,you are accusing the Broncos of a blatant,public and obvious cheat of the salary cap. Furthermore you accuse them of doing so just after they have had their books forensically tested. Of course, it is possible that you are wrong, in fact that seems likely doesn't it. You, AP claimed Boyd would receive upwards of 750 k a season and would be the first million dollar a season Bronco. Wrong twice. Becoming a habit. I did suggest myself that Boyd would be on 400 k with Newcastle chipping in, I wonder which one of us is right....
 
Re: [Rumour] - Broncos to sign Darius Boyd

I do actually believe he will earn that...

First because he isn't worth more, second because he needs to be near Wayne and his family to continue his journey of rehabilitation. Knights probably agreed to pay the reportedly missing $200K for next season, as opposed to having a sook on their books for $600K.

That was EXACTLY what I forecast would happen although I don't consider someone who suffers from depression a sook. I do consider people who sit on the keyboard and slag people off as gutless cowards who need to denigrate others in order to feel good about themselves. Of course not you Porthoz, I just mean anyone who is like that.

Someone who suffers from depression most definitely isn't a sook. However, someone who is forced to be away from their Daddy often is.

Lol no.

Prove to me that he is getting 400k. Prove it. If you can't do that then I fail to see how I could be wrong?

Also, getting 400k from us and 200k from Newcastle still means hes signed for 600k.

I'm also not sure where you get that I'm suggesting the broncos are cheating the salary cap? That one came out of far left field lol. You do know that neither the broncos, Boyd, his manager nor the nrl have said hes on their books for 400k, don't you?

I'm honestly stumped at how you could read what I said and take "the broncos are cheating the salary cap!" out of it lol. And to think I used to think you had a decently logical head on you. Shame on me.

EDIT: Baiting
Pretty sure you know I wasn't calling him a sook because of his depression, which is something I take seriously...
 
Re: [Rumour] - Broncos to sign Darius Boyd

A good way to look at it is that we swapped Barba for Milford. Who are the same style of player except Milford hasn't had the off field dramas Barba has had. Oh and Milford is a better runner, passer and kicker. And is younger. Let's just be happy we finally have 2 halves again.
 
Re: [Rumour] - Broncos to sign Darius Boyd

Deadset guys, I'm ****ing over this bull**** whining from some of you. Considering revoking my membership and saying ciao soon. A real shame as most on here make this place special. At the moment, a few miserable ****s are destroying this community.

I am leaning that way as well, ah well it was good for a long time.
 
Re: [Rumour] - Broncos to sign Darius Boyd

Don't forget your handbags bitches.....chortle chortle, that's a joke.

This will all calm down over the coming weeks I'm sure gents. Now that everything appears to be sorted out. Stick with it a little longer.
 
Re: [Rumour] - Broncos to sign Darius Boyd

Knights only have him contracted for 1 more year, and it's supposed to be 1.2 over 3 with us. It could theoretically be something like 500K in 2016 and 17, and 200K + 400K from the Knights next year.

It's been an usually turbulent offseason. Even when Henjak got the boot, it wasn't this bad.

Don't think there has ever been a time like this before, four players moving on after being released and two had only been at the club for a year.

He is talking about the forum not the football club.
