Apologies for who posted it earlier as ive forgot, but I think LM and his form at 7 last year is a wee bit overlooked as were winning.
Im a big LM fan, but we have to be reasonable and remember how fucking clunky our attack was for much of the year when he was 7. He grew into the role, but he was still learning.
- His general kicking, while he improved, is not as good as Tanah has been this year.
- His try assists are significantly down from what Boyd has done in 2026 (LM 9 try assist in 15 games, Boyd 9 in 6 games).
- Metcalf and Boyd currently have the same average for tries and forced drop outs (0.5 pg) despite this being Metcalfs strength
- Team wise, much better cohesion with Tanah atm - both defence and attack have been better than the same time last year.
For me, Boyd is an out and out 7, and under Webby has tweaked his game which has brought wonders.
LM has a higher ceiling for sure, however has struggled to get there due to injuries.
If were being honest, Boyds game is tailor made for Webbys game plan, and I think if he had Rocco back with that kick chase I think wed be pinning teams back even further and causing more stress for teams.
We already have evidence of Webby trying to make it work and put LM at 6, and us struggling. Imo I dont think we risk it again. The point is to win games right...why play around with that when were winning games, and winning bloody well.
No brainer for me, stick with Boyd!
