Bennett announcement today: quitting Knights

[BennyV]

I'd love Scott back but he is 30 now so would be playing at 31 next year which would probably be his last season although he is signed to the knights til the end of 2016

Beau Scott would be a killer signing. Even more important if we end up losing Thompson. His aggression, defense and leadership would be invaluable, regardless of his age. On top of that, he is in the form of his life at the moment, wed get a good couple of years out of him and hed be a great influence on the likes of Friz, JDB, Bird, Lolo, Fonua-Blake, and so on...

Bennett will just give us another orgasm and then leave

Oh yeah I agree he would be a killer signing for next year 100% but he is becoming more injury prone and I doubt he will play past 2016 IMO. He is signed to the knights until then anyway. I'd be reserved about letting younger players go to pay him $500K. No way would I let Stockwell go or Thompson go to accomodate. If we can cut some deadwood, get a prop and squeeze the mandatory Darius then sign me up lol

Love your Nic! I met Shulman when my dad organised us to go into the dressing room before an Amco Cup game. Got to meet most of the team and Billy Smith as well but I do remember Langlands didnt want to talk to any of us kids. Don't blame him now I'm an adult lol

And no doubt theres plenty of it. Cut Ah Mau, Harrison, Mataka, and youve got yourself close to enough to cover him.

He is signed until the end of 2016 so why are we even talking about Beau?

JA rumour thay we are trying to grab him. Likely has a Bennet get-out clause.

Langlands was notorious for his nervious dry retching & throwing up before games. He obviously didn't want to bark all over you !

Lol I'm thankful for that. He wouldn't even sign an autograph, had to settle for Henry Tartner lol. As a kid Langlands was my biggest idol. Learnt to step off both feet thanks to him. Shame Benji wasn't playing then lol

I hope so though its not been mentioned as it has like Boyd and he has signed a contract extending past Bennett's so that in itself seems an anomaly

Langlands doesn't talk to his own son ,so I wouldn't worry too much

Bennett said in his interview that Boyd had a number of get out clauses, i.e. he can really go wherever he wants.

But since Bennett hadnt decided his own future yet, it was pointless to speculate on Boyd's (or so he said anyway!).

Sorry for the confusion but I was referring to Scott

Can't give any credibility to that, Como could've made that call for all we know

 

[Como Connection]

An ex Dragon player from the 70's just rang me to say he had received a sms to the effect the Bennett has signed with the Dragons, FACT, in so much that he passed the message on to me.

I don't doubt u at all Como but how do we know we can trust ur source?

 

[harryzaco]

keeps escalating :crazy:

I hope a signing doesn't affect the current team dynamic, although Mary gives off a focused attitude to the press.
