Quote: silver2 "Les Boyd is the best forward I've seen in the P & B. You could see fear in the eyes of the opposition when he was on the pitch but toughness was only part of his game. He also had pace, strength and good handling skills. Consequently I believe he would still be successful in today's sanitised version of the game'"
Certainly a top forward when he was interested.....
Most of the time he was, but I do remember playing Hunslet away and losing.....
He was always a couple of yards behind the line and simply a waste of space that day.
Now if Sorenson had been in the opposition we'd have seen a VERY different Boyd.
(Actually if you look at the size of the forwards back then compared to now, Boyd would be small but I'd still have him in my team. Don't think we should forget though that he was a real 'bad boy' in Oz. Didn't he play for us at the time he should have been serving a massive ban?)
