Player Tanah Boyd

[Neo]

I'm not sure of the stats, but it always felt like we gained way less meterage from penalty kicks than most other teams too.

SJ became very gun shy in that regard after he got hooked by Matt Elliott for missing touch.

So long as Tannah can bring a long kicking game he'll be adding to the team..

Yip.... That's the bar.... Kinda sad if you think about it..

I don't think so, that's his role in the team and AW will implement him into the game plan to enhance whatever else he offers. But without a long kicking game our team will be pushing shit uphill..

More thinking it was sad that we were lacking in that department in the first place.

Tanah Boyd is a money ball pick.
He ticks all the boxes
He is a lot better pick than Daejarn Asi who some people wanted on this message board.
I don't think he is going to suddenly improve though and I don't think he is being recruited based on potential.
He is being recruited as a nuggety defender, and great all round kicking game. He will be one member of the team, other people can score and set up tries.
All reports are he is an extremely good person and is popular amongst his team mates. And that should count for something.

Until your team wants Ben Hunt

So awhile back I emailed the NRL asking if it was true that Tanah was a development player.

This is what I sent.

Hello in your signing/tracker website it lists Tanah Boyd as a development player. Is this true as he is currently contracted as a top 30 player at the gold coast.

Just got this reply back.
Thank you for your email. We appreciate you writing to us and your passion for the game.

Yes, this is correct as he’s recently signed with the Warriors from the Gold Coast Titans: https://www.warriors.kiwi/news/2024/10/31/titan-boyd-signs-for-two-years/

Is there the opportunity to reply back and ask if it's specifically as a development player as the response from them is still ambiguous?

Hope this "real person" reads your question this time then

While you're at it could you ask if the rumor is true that there's another South Island bid that's come to the party out of Invercargill with a consortium backed by Tim Shadbolt?

He has today been moved to the top 30 in the NRL signing tracker.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

He has today been moved to the top 30 in the NRL signing tracker.

Shock horror. It is beyond me how anyone thought otherwise.

 

[Wrighty]

That's 30 in our top thirty

They could release someone since all the clubs like to be at 29 at this timing

Potentially Bunty & Walker. Bunty to Superleague if anyone bites. Dylan back to Oz for personal reasons re - His girlfriend & Kids.

Solid kicking game or great kicking game?

I feel as if a narrative of its own is being created here as comments get accentuated over time. It seems to often happen on this (or any) forum.

I'm not expecting us to be getting 5 repeat sets and a 40/20 each week.

I would say inconsistent kicking game…
He’s got the skills I just think it’s mental for him.
Classic case of a schoolboy star whos had the confidence knocked out of him imho- that’s why he’s lost his running game too.
Thats why I think Webby might be the right coach for him- u often hear players talk about how much confidence he installs in them.
It’s gonna be interesting to see how this one plays out.

Surely Bunty could get a start at another nrl club? (If he wanted)
