If 2016 Boyd was on our list, he'd be a walk up start.
If Wallis can read the play and position himself accordingly, I could see him playing a similar role.
I don't think Wally is half the player Boydy is, unfortunately. Quicker, better at ground level, better foot skills, just better.
The days of the slow yet big hearted nuggety backman, with questionable foot skills, is over and that's all Wally would be, imo. I think Adz will end up there in a year or too, as he does strike me as someone capable of making a Boyd like transition.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
