Seriously, do they get minimum wage in Reserve grade.?

Jye Gray is a reserve grader , Bench player in first grade at best. And he will reportedly earn around 900k a season, And tax free!

Edit - We're talking about R360 right? If not. Just scroll past

Hard to tell but it's beneficial for Luke to not take on all the kicking duties, after all Walsh was able to influence a game without playing as a 7. Could come down to CHT vs Boyd if one's kicking is better than the other's running/defense.

there's really no comparison imo. Boyd's kicking game (both goal kicking and in game) is far superior. He just needs to be more confident. I'd shift CHT to the utility role TMM played this year and leave TMM out. Let Mets run the team and the ball and Boyd kick sides to death. Drop DWZ for AKP to add genuine pace and sign one more gun center/winger and I think we'll be sweet.

I thought Metcalf’s general field kicking was superior to Boyd’s. Am I misremembering?

Definite misremembering

I reckon Luke has more distance.

 

[Tokyo Warrior]

I reckon Luke has more distance.

Yeah, I have the impression that he would land it pretty consistently on the 10m line and that he had the odd 40-20 in him too.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

I doubt Boyd will be playing first grade here or anywhere else. This year pretty much cemented his ceiling as a top reserve player

Yes.

Huh? You can’t be serious

I think people are including Boyd's kicking performances in Cup, where he has miles more time to execute, when they are comparing the two. Based on NRL alone, I'm not sure if one was cleary better than the other

Yes Luke bombs from halfway and get to the 10m, Boyd also gets to 10m but at an angle that chasers can’t get there until the wingers ran back beyond 20m, he also kicks goals from halfway by chipping the ball

Yeah exactly. I think when looking at first grade only I agree with Tokyo Warriors assessment. With Metcalf we won the close games, with Boyd we lost. I thought a lot of that had to do with the kicking game

 

[kos]

I d make the point that Luke had forwards going forward particularly Mitch Barnett
Once Mitch went down we lacked go forward
That roughly coincided with Boyd replacing Metcalf
Our props after Barnett went down were Jfh TSS Marata Vaimunga
None of those guys really eat metres

If the forwards go forward the halves look good

Somebody will pull up a stat but I recall that last game against Penrith that Penrith were hundred of metres better than us in go forward

Bombs away

My memory of the two is that Luke was generally trying harder but fucking up in general play, but he iced the big important moments. Boyd was playing better in general play, but the bigger the moment, the more he fell apart. Same for both goal kicking. Luke would miss 9 kicks but would nail the match winner.

Both have room to grow. I am just surprised how most have written Boyd off lol, he was actually solid in the payoff game either side of the ball and imagine if he had Metcalf and a quick fullback to work with out wide instead of playing 6 vs 7
