Boyd Cordner

[Rooster_6]

It's funny how much recognition this guy gets when everyone around him is faltering and he just manages to continue doing what he's done every week since his debut.

It's funny because he does it every week, turns up on every play, carries the ball with conviction on every run and makes his tackles. He just gets lost among all the flashy players.

There's nothing exciting about what he does but geez he's a vital clog in our team.

Loved his comments post game when asked about the covering tackle on Dave Taylor; "It's just what you do when you pull on this jersey".

Wish our team could show the level of commitment and passion he does every week regardless of who we're playing.

I used to think he was overrated, but not anymore.

He does all the little things right, he has been a rock in our side this year.

Can score a try or two as well.

[mightyrooster]

He had a great game. And I agree, I think he is under appreciated by many. But that can be said about a lot of the players.

[Johnny Tobin]

He wouldn't be under appreciated by his fellow roosters.

[Cockadoodledoo]

I thought he was unfairly criticised at the back end of last year too.. He is really in a purple patch right now. Isaac Liu is another who is seriously underrated, I swear people don't rate him probably because there are no hyphens in his name. He does a solid job week in week out, makes his metres, quick play the balls and some ability to pass the ball before the line. A perfect foil for SST.

[Tommy Smith]

Liu has been fantastic the past few weeks. He's coming along beautifully.

As for Cords, he's the rock in our pack. Hits hard, runs hard, work hard, and runs a great line. What more can you ask for.

I love Liu(cy).

He is the most underrated player in the game.

Boyd had a patch where he really didnt look like he was putting it 100% each week.

Good to see him back to his best. Seems to have lost his line breaking ability though.

[Johnny.]

NSW and Australian Rep...I don't think underrated is the correct term to describe him.

That tackle on Taylor was very reminiscent of the one Sattler did on Todd Byrne, especially because Taylor was going about the same speed as Todd when he was tackled.

I wouldn't say he's lost it. I'd say it's a combination of opposition teams recognising that it was one of our best plays in 2013/14, putting more players on him, and us subsequently using the play less due to its loss of effectiveness. He'd still have it though, easily

[Johnny Tobin]

It doesn't help that our attack is so predictable at the moment. Wide to Boyd. Wide to Guerra. Teams can mark up on him.

The second they get some more variation in those plays close to the line the sooner we rack up some real scores. I would not be surprised if Robbo is holding something back. I would be disappointed if he isn't. Though having said that we had no Plan B last season.

[roostersrule2]

I thought our attack lifted after Origin last year.

Maybe it was just Pearce's run of great form though.

[Johnny Tobin]

Maybe.

We certainly ran out of ideas in the semi against Souffs.

Agreed. Liu was a bit slow to start the season but is hitting his straps now. Someone needs to support him, there is potential for an offload just about every time.

[Rooster_6]

I wish more in our team had this guys attitude.

No matter what is going on around him, no matter who he's play he's charging at the ball with 100% effort, he's doing all the one percenters and putting his body on the line in defence.

Gets lost when we're smashing teams and everyone's getting plaudits for the flashy things but in a star studded forward pack full of big personalities and leaders I truly believe this guy is our rock. He's the one guy you never have to worry about... no matter how much some on here have tried to question his commitment on here.
