Re: Darius Boyd return?

Barba and Hoffmans contracts are cheaper than what Boyds by itself would be? Play making ability maybe, but not from fullback. At his best, well duh. But who is at their best more often?

Hoffmans running game is great, until he get's hurt after every single hit up. He even limped away after he knocked the ball dead with nobody near him the other night. Boyd is far more evasive than Hoffman too. Can actually score or set up tries from fullback. And Boyd is also a great finisher on the wing.

Boyd has been really poor this year and should have been dropped ages ago.

And people keep telling me that WB is our savior, so he should have no problems getting Barba back to his best and keeping him there.

Besides I have no interest in signing another player who thinks playing wing is beneath them

Re: Darius Boyd return?

When did people say Bennett is our saviour?

Boyd is just a less crappier version of Hoffman. He is pretty much Hoffman with a slightly better passing game...

Re: Darius Boyd return?

Take it with a grain of salt, but I heard gordie on triple m this morning saying Darius will be a bronco next year, with hoffman and barba to be cut loose

thousand to one against ...

Who has said anything about him being our saviour?

I've read people say it online and some people I know have said that.

But unless he is our "savior" then we really went the wrong way getting him back and it makes me even more sure we should have gone with a long term coach

Re: Darius Boyd return?

For Barba to leave he will have to agree to a release. The only club he would go to would be the Titans IMO. He did move up here to be close to his family. We will certainly need to clear the decks if we are to sign Boyd.

Re: willie mason

Mason, Scott, Boyd and Costigan are all coming to the Broncos.

Re: Darius Boyd return?

For what it's worth, the Barba getting cut loose rumour is real, a lot of it depends on how he performs in the last couple of months of the season though.

What?

7 + 7 - 6 x 4 = 32? :lalala:

Re: willie mason

What?

7 + 7 - 6 x 4 = 32? :lalala:

actually it equals -10

6 x 4 = 24

7 + 7 = 14

14 - 24 = -10

Ps - No to Costigan and Boyd.....yes to Scott, need a big hitting second rower, maybe to Mason (need another big prop)

Re: willie mason

One of the big reasons I don't want him at the club is because he can be very vocal and stir up trouble in an instance because he throws his weight around. Plus I'm fairly certain our front row rotation isn't that bad that we actually need him. We have some decent size unlike Newcastle.

Beyond Kennedy, our frontrowers are midgets.

Hannant, Maguire, Parker, Thaiday (who I add for completeness).

Bigger teams just manhandle us (just watch us play Souths or the Warriors).

Which of our props have any 'size'?

Costigan is more of a big hitting second rower than Scott.

That was the point of my post and the emoticon. Meaning, putting 2 and 2 together and getting a potato. Did you not get that?

Re: willie mason

I would prefer Costigan over Scott.

I like Costigan. He plays with aggression. Something our pack lacks.

How do you know this?

The rumor is he is off to the Titans, but apparently their cap is bursting at the seams ... so not sure how they could afford him

If Bennett brings those 4 with him, then I propose we March on Red Hill and drag him back to Newcastle
