Quote: jonh "I'm not really sure about this. I think there are several different types of fullback who can be very useful to a side.
Tomkins moved to fullback and suddenly that is the blue print for a fullback. I don't buy into that personally.
I'm not a massive fan of Escare but he has pace that can be just as effective as a passing game. Sarg took over at 1 from Tomkins and in my opinion that changed our season significantly for the better.
Billy Slater has no real passing game, Boyd has no natural passing game and he is the best in the business by a long way at the moment.'"
While I agree with you to a point, a passing game is a huge benefit. I will also argue that Boyd has an excellent passing game that has contributed to his standing as the best in the business.
Just have a listen to Cronk's thought's on him on youtube: "Cooper Cronk analyses Darius Boyd"
