Just have this good feeling about Boyd returning. He's been pretty ordinary when last playing, but I think he also cops a lot of undue criticism because of his massive contract. Not to mention people are down on him because he's not producing results, but I wonder how much that has to do with him just not playing in the first place. Between his mental health and back issues, he's barely played half the available games since the GF so of course he won't be putting up many results. He's 23 now - should have the strength to start standing up to the bigger rucks and actually be able to take a mark. A firing Boyd would make us a whole new team
Boyd just gives the opposition an extra headache. Throw him forward and they've got Schache and Boyd to deal with, in the ruck English and Boyd. Just gives us options.
