If he fails to perform in the centres in the first few games then he has to go. Either way he gets paid. It's a win win for Boyd

...i cant seriously even see him making it onto the run on side for game 1 2020 season....i really cant...

But what do i know..?

Boyd is a protected species, one of the reasons this club fucked up this year and hopefully, not next year

 

[BrentTatesChin]

Gonna boo this **** so hard next year.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Don't do it Anthony, for your own sake.

 

[Ffs...]

Didn't Boyd get smoked when filling in there this season? My guess is the conversation sis more "no spots guaranteed, but if you do earn one, centre is it" Be interesting to see if Boyd is picked in trial matches at centre.

Boyd didn't play there this season

Boyd didn't play there this season

He defended there 1 game

I'm sure he did during games no? Wasn't he at center when turnstiled by Ramien? I know when Moses lapped him he was playing at 6.

 

[theshed]

He defended there 1 game

And got spanked.

He will get at least half a dozen games to prove himself, at which point if he fails he will/should be dropped. If hes adamant and doesn’t want to leave, we can Ill afford to let him trigger his 15 nrl game clause

If Boyd fails there then there’s a good chance Oates won’t be seeing much ball either.

Is this the twilight zone? Not good enough for fullback - go to the halves. Not good enough for the halves - go to centre.

What is keeping him in the team??

Edit: Who cares what he is paid? if he won't leave voluntarily, pay him out or reserves.

Probably to stop him suing the club for Wayne Bennett grooming him... (obviously joking)

 

[Foordy]

we don't know if anything is keeping him in the team ... all we have is speculation from Badel who has speculated plenty of different things for Boyd in the last week.

 

[Galah]

He defended there 1 game

And got smoked

 

[CaptainHook]

I'm optimistic about this move.

He was shifted to the centers last year and didn't go too badly.

Let's see what a full pre-season does.
