Re: Tonight has warmed me on Boyd

Tonight has warmed me on Boyd

That's the beer goggles talking.

I estimate tonight's loss was the equivalent of being sad and drinking 10 beers. Darius is the rather unappealing 3/10 in the corner who now suddenly seems viable due to said drinking.

Let's resist the urge, because if we don't who knows how long our ass will be sore in the future.

Re: Tonight has warmed me on Boyd

Boyd can fill the same role as Chris Johns once did, plus provide backup at fullback. No brainer signing, in my mind. Hope his health is ok, first priority.

that would be fine as long as he was a WINGER that can provide back up at full back when we are desperate.

unfortunately that won't be the case. you know it, i know it, the most ardent Bennett supporter knows it.

he will get first shot at a spine position, and won't lose it

Re: Tonight has warmed me on Boyd

Aren't you that guy who posts nothing but incoherent dribble? You'd be the last person I'd take football insight from.
If saying Hodges is our best player and by far the most talented back in the team is incoherent dribble, then I guess it would be a waste of time to try and educate you any further.

You obviously do have something wrong with your TV, they are available in flatscreen these days you know.

The problem is Boyd won't be wing when he comes back ... as much as you may want him to be.

we all know he will get a spine position ... and that would be disastrous for us

You don't know shit about where he will play, or if he will even be coming back.

Can we just put on the BHQ banner 'Foordy knows Bennett's plans, so no discussion will be had on this topic'

Would probably save a lot of confusion

What games do you watch?

Without Hodges and Parker we would be close to the wooden spoon.

Hodges has done more good things than bad things year in year out for us, he is one player who will pull something out of nothing, granted his dummy half runs have become predictable but he has been brutal in defence and sets up more trys than any other Brisbane player.

Do you remember the try where he passed it between his legs recently, or the one tonight where Vidot blew it?

Seriously, get a new tv your old one does not show the same games I watch.

Haha a few good passes makes up for killing 80% of our backline movement with his dummy half scoots that don't produce anything?

Seriously, I fight an ongoing battle with [MENTION=8215]Morkel[/MENTION] for who is the bigger hodges fanboy, and even I can see we are better without hodges this year

Its pretty obvious that we would not pay Boyd $700 000 to play wing or centre. If he comes he will be somewhere in the spine, whether at fullback or five-eight.

Bennett never went two years in a row without making the finals. Let's see what he does first before we jump on.

The point is you don't fucking know. Bennett hasnt missed the finals 2 years in a row, we don't know how he will respond to that. All your doing is speculating and then scoffing down your fucking nose at anyone that post an opinion that goes against your 'Bennett sucks is going to set us back 50 year and boyd will play 5/8 and I hate everything to do with this' agenda.

Basically you are killing any discussion people want to have so you can stamp your feet and scream i hate bennett and boyd is going to play 5/8.

If I have missed an announcement that Boyd has signed and will be playing 5/8 then I apologise whole-heartedly and take it all back, but right now as far as I can tell Boyd was only realised from a mental health clinic yesterday and that's all that has been confirmed

Haha I can just see Boyd at the negotiating table.

Darius, we are willing to offer you 500k!

(Silence)

Okay, 600k.

(Silence)

700k!

(Silence)

Okay, 800k.

(Silence)

Come on Darius, can't you at least respond?

Can't I enjoy a candy crush win?

Fine, 900k, but that's our last offer.

Darius signs without saying a word.
