TBH, i don't really have an agenda re: Boyd ... It kind of gets tangled up with Agendas 3 & 4.

Milford and Hunt are shaping up as a top halves combination, now looking to, and getting the ball out to the edges and beyond. That is where are strength is - edges and outside backs. Milford looks to be finally realizing he is playing 5/8 and is looking and reading the game and boy did it show tonight, what he can do as well as being a top notch ball runner. I am at last becoming convinced he is the 5/8 we needed.
Our defensive line speed is by and large, crap and is our real weakness. The Knights made far too many metres while our defensive line just waited, even though it was a little better in the 2nd half.
Kahu is simply a top tier talent, as is Oates. Selection headaches ahead...
I thought Molo and Offa went very well which bodes well for our bench and beyond down the track.
But for mine, this was the game where we showed, thanks in large part to milford and Hunt, what we can do when we pss the ball, offload and run in support.
The 2nd half (and the ball movement) was just great to watch.

Like most I thought we were gone at half time, it was the conversion missed that shook my confidence. However, a great and gritty performance with plenty of solid hitting by the forwards setting the win up. There were a few areas that we were not great in but taken overall it was excellent. I haven't decided if Milford is the absolute answer and will still wait to the seasons end before I make up my mind but, shit he's doing a great job !
Vidot was great and so was Maranta but I watched Staggy and he was a rock. I'm glad he was out there and he did a lot of thankless work. Blair was solid but really I cannot think a single player who does not deserve some praise.
I also had 80 bucks on them at 2.71 !

I was impressed with Stagg. Thought he went well. Whitchurch didn't **** up. Blair didn't **** up.
I'd be looking at Kahu being out full time goal kicker and surely Milford has to start kicking more too? Hunt is nowhere good enough to be most the only one.
Milford was immense. Also if Niko is out for an extended time, who will we see replace him? His brother? Parcell? Whitchurch!?

Ashley Taylor.
But it will most likely be out of Parcell, Jayden and Whitchurch.
I'm going to say Parcell.

My agenda may be shining through, but i hope Bennett gives Taylor a taste of first grade

Is that just for the sake of it, or does he have some value as a bench utility? Genuine question as I've never seen him play

Just typical Newcastle fan behaviour. Running their mouths before their eggs have hatched.

During their good run, Knights fans were saying getting rid of Bennett was the best thing for them and slammed the Broncos heavily after their Round 1 defeat..
Fast forward a couple of months, Broncos are on top and Knights are struggling.
Life can be great.

It's probably more value to his development than the team (with him on the bench)
But his has, IMO, a far superior kicking game to anyone in our side.
In the event he was given a taste, i would probably move Hunt to hooker for the 10-15 minutes Taylor is on and give Taylor a run at halfback
