[QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2936861, member: 8215"] My argument is that Boyd's best position is fullback, and the Broncos' best fullback is Boyd. It's that simple. He's not going as well as he could be, as we all know he can be, but he's still our best fullback, easily. The Broncos weren't in desperate need of a halfback when Bennett came back, that's revisionist history that's been repeated often enough to become truth for some. Hunt[I] is[/I] a halfback, he just also possesses a fantastic running game. As for Wayne's favouritism towards Boyd, once again, the notion that Wayne is blinded by their relationship is another fallacy that has become truth for people who want to believe it. People [I]think[/I] that Boyd is given preferential treatment, and with the lack of any knowledge of what actually goes on, Wayne being compromised is the only explanation they can muster. How about we look at why Wayne holds Boyd in such a high regard. It's been well reported by the media, and repeated by Wayne, that Boyd is the ultimate professional and always leads by example. He is a perfectionist and constantly works on his game to improve. And after a long history of battling mental demons, has finally come out the other side with a newfound maturity and dedication to looking after himself. Is that not the exact kind of person you want leading a team? Not just some super-skilled guy who has cruised to an elite level, but a busted, hardened toiler that has been there, done that, and knows exactly what is required to win a battle. We already know the media will jump on the slightest murmur and blow it out to be the end of the world. Cartwright, and the jealousy of the under-paid Titans being an example. And we already know that the media, led by a select few ringleaders with a massive grudge against Wayne, have waged a war against him and the Broncos above anything most of us have ever seen in the game. Do you think if there was even a whisper about the players not respecting Boyd, of any unrest in terms of what Boyd brings, that the media would not be all over it? It would be a fairytale for them. But there's been nothing of the sort reported. The answer could well be that Bennett doesn't treat Boyd differently. That, despite what people want to make of errors, slow PTB's, bitching to refs, Boyd is still the best captain and fullback for the team. That players respect him completely, that the things that we don't see for the 99% of the time he is not on the television are as meticulous, professional, and tireless as has been reported for his entire career. And that people are simply reading way too much in to the appearance certain aspects of his game. His fitness and form are down, there's no argument there, but he's a champion and so is Bennett, and both have proven themselves over and over again. I expect they'll do the same again. [/QUOTE]
