no offence to Pablo but it was his first post. We get plenty of trolls in here. Someone with a solid reputation.

I hope not, then our spine will be a guy that hasn’t played fullback in four years and has the wrong body shape for the position a half that has played no nrl games, a half that has played 3 nrl games and a hooker that provides the slowest dummy-half service since Sam Thaiday.
Edit: if Boyd plays at 5/8 I am going to support the knights

I'm not sure Milford was a great fullback at the Raiders. Think of say James Roberts at the Titans, it's easy to look good in a highlight reel for a shit team but another thing entirely to be good at all facets of a position. How does he go organising the defence, positioning for kicks and all that off the ball off camera stuff?

It was always going to be a roller coaster ride this year with a new coach, new systems, a very young team and three spine players including the captain, well beneath the level required for a competitive team.
I'm glad we've moved Kodi away from the Halfback position, and although I would've loved to keep him at the club as a great utility and would even have trialled him at Fullback, moving Boyd to the centres, where I still think he could be very useful to us!
I would definitely go after French now on a relatively meagre salary, as while he may not be the final solution, he would offer a hell of a lot more than Boyd from the custodian position, especially in support of our talented forwards, and allow us to fill a position in the three quarters we are currently seriously lacking.

I'm just a broncos supporter with an unhealthy obsession with seeing us return to the glory days. I honestly could not believe Dobbo or Garry or any of the other media at training didn't think it was worthy of a query yesterday. I'm not a regular at training but seeing Milf at the back was a genuine shock to me. Maybe he trains there every week. Doubt it though. I will try to get to training tomorrow if it's on and get further details.

Welcome aboard mate. You will find plenty of people in here with unhealthy obsessions so you should fit right in.

Sorry for the delay in replying but I had to chase up my colleague on this. He said and I quote “He wanted to be popular but wasn’t stern enough. Felt he was too soft on some of the trouble makers.”
Take what you will from that but seeing the problems our team are facing with little guidance from the top, the great promise of cultural change seems deader than Wayne’s smiles.

I believe you mate, Boyd's days are numbered at fullback.

As well as....it's easier to get around opposing teams when they don't know who you are or what you can do. Milford was virtually an unknown when playing fullback for the Raiders.....
He is a lot heavier marked player now.....
and yeah, no-one ever talks about Milf's defensive prowess at fullback
...because he has none.

Has anyone asked the question whether this is new or has Milf trained at FB periodically throughout the year already?
Boyd can stay well clear of any spine position. He is a cancer. If Milford is going to play full back, I'd personally much prefer Boyd in centres for Shiba, Turpin in 5/8 and Segeyaro on the bench. Best with what we have available unfortunately...

Then how do explain the likes of Turpin that “apparently” was playing terrible in the lower grades?? By that logic when Roberts was demoted to QCup he should lit up the opposition because of his “game changing “ speed. You never know unless you give someone a chance.
