Boyd to quit club

[The Showstopper]

I am smiling from ear to ear. We need to boo the spineless twat at the Titans game. Send him and Mr All Talk on their way. His books are a joke now. Man in the mirror indeed. He can spend his days knowing he betrayed a club in it's hour of need.

 

[Spot On]

Every cloud has a silver lining

No probs with the coach and fullback leaving after this weekend.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Serious question is it a bad thing to want us to get 2-3 floggings for Bennett to get marched and humilate him?

 

[Sacrolishes]

i'd much rather us flog other teams to stick it to Bennett.

I'm the opposite. I want us to go on a run so he looks foolish with his comments about the players being crap.

 

[Knight Vision]

All the dramas with his mrs over the years he's been at knights wouldn't help his head space

Theres some juicy gossip....I didnt know he had personal problems. That might explain a lot then because at Newcastle he's been crap. My first thought is who the f@c$k would marry that prick?

Thats pretty much what he has said. I'm almost in shock. He better leave Gagai, Leilua, Mamo , Clydsale , Sims , Tapine etc alone.

Just a question from an outsider, but where exactly did he say the players were crap?

He was asked in the presser had the players let him down and he said something along the lines of "I'm not the one out there playing bad but I hired some of the blokes that are out there so I have to take some responsibility".

The general sentiment though of admitting they're a lost cause that he can't fix is enough.

 

[Spot On]

Is he going to take any of our gun props with him???:sarcasm:

 

[knightsarmy]

Sounds like the players were pretty shocked (about Wayne). Doesn't bode well for us for the rest of the season performance wise I don't think.

No i didn't think it could get any worse , but spoon is definitely back on - I don't think the guuys heads will be focused come Sunday

 

[Nuffy]

I think we should try and keep him.

He would know he needs to stand on his own two feet and he may not have a lot of options based on the media.

I reckon we should try and convince him that he is valued and can be part of a special town and one of the leaders to bring Newcastle back. I think if he feels wanted, he might come around.

I wouldn't give up on him, but he needs to be nurtured, particularly after his upbringing.

 

[Dave_]

Let him go. 27 is the start of the decline for most outside backs anyway. It seems that way anyhow.

 

[Alex28]

I don't reckon he'll find another club to go to that isn't worse than us - as such we'll keep him...

Sorry but I don't want any player that needs to be 'convinced' to play for the Knights!

I'm at every home game and he is not a $600k a year player when it comes to commitment and heart (and the $600k should be enough 'convincing' to step up every week and at least put in 100%)

Personally I think he is the greatest scourge on the attitude at the club -

• he's constantly complaining behind the try line about others when a try is scored;
• is nearly always out of position or not seen to be the last line of defence most of the time himself;
• has significantly underperformed since the day he arrived (except for a few very rare good weeks), yet has never been dropped for his underperformance by Bennett

If you are going to try and establish a benchmark on personal performance of individuals but run double standards when it comes to leaving an underperforming sook on the field, then you (as coach) are to significantly to blame for affecting player unity and team performance.

And I find it really pi$$ poor that they time this around the Rise for Alex round...

Happy to see them both leave now, give Rick Stone the run for the rest of the year and hope the players stick it up Bennett and Boyd and scrape into the 8.

You hit the nail on the head there, I suspect this is a very under rated contributing factor to our performance this year.

Isn't that what we've tried the past 3 years already?

 

[Nuffy]

News is reporting that Boyd is linked to the Raiders.

Is he really that desperate?

Surely just pure speculation.

 

[doggone]

Well the whole thing is pretty messy. Lets hope Stoney can get em going. I am sure things can only get better.

I thought the saying was pay peanuts get monkeys.:-( Not for Newcastle Pay Heaps and get no results,:-(

 

[aqua_duck]

If I was Boyd I'd want atleast a mil to go to Canberra
