DARIUS Boyd has done it again. After getting in trouble for a shocking interview five years ago, the Newcastle Knights star has pulled out another corker.
As Channel 7 reporter Jennifer Huxley attempted to get a response from him today regarding Knights coach Wayne Bennett’s decision to leave the club at the end of the year, Boyd wouldn’t have a bar of it.
Boyd has followed Bennett from the Broncos to the Dragons and the Knights and was asked if he was sad to see the Supercoach go.
“Are you serious? You’re going to hammer me with questions?” Boyd asked the reporter.
“Interrogation, isn’t it?”
Boyd, a member of the Queensland team that defeated NSW 32-8 in Wednesday night’s State of Origin III, continued: “I can’t enjoy a good Origin win?
“Put this on the news, that’d be good.
“I’m lost. Lost for words.”
In 2009, Bennett went as far as to apologise on Boyd’s behalf after the fullback delivered one-sentence responses to eight questions posed to him at a training session in Wollongong before reporters gave up and complained about his utter lack of enthusiasm.


Boyd is a strange man, possibly even stranger than self-diagnosed schizophrenic Jamal Idris. However, I don't mind his belligerent attitude towards the media. It is genuinely entertaining to watch this bloke embarrass himself whenever he is forced to utter a word. Good man, that Darius.

Its counterproductive and he's too stupid to realise it.
He doesn't talk because he doesn't want to give the media anything.
But by doing just that he ends up giving them more ammunition....
Not the most intelligent sheep.

The guy is an absolute child, admittedly the reporter seemed pretty amateurish with her question/statements regarding Bennett, "bit of a bugger isnt it?".

It seemed like Darius just thinks he's being attacked by the media at all times.

Surely they all get media training and have a bunch of cliche lines they can roll out, in the end that just gets paragraph online and that's the end of it.

meh, the difference is the last time was proper set up interview sanctioned by the club. This was on the street in his own time.

Pretty funny when she didnt have any other questions, and Darius says- "what, you lost for words"

I think she did a good job.
She got the exact reaction she was after.
When it comes to Radius you can't use too many big words anyway.

Her follow up question should have been "has the Queensland team voted on who's beard looks the most stupid between you and Nate Myles?"

Meh players are massive sooks. Imagine if one of these guys had to deal with the media say from the NFL..

More money. More money. But guess what we will do jack shit extra.

Ill preface this by saying I think Boyd is a bit of a dick.

What he did there in that interview I have no problem with.. He's obviously been burned by the media before and doesn't want to give them a second of his time. Good on him for sticking to his guns, you can't say he's not consistent in his approach.

Had the journo baffled, was quite funny IMO

has he really been burned though? i thought his last effort was just him being a wanker too. It looks more like him mimicking papa Wayne but not really knowing why?

I prefer his answers to the f**king unbearable clichés of the majority of NRL players. "Full credit to the boys", "they wanted it more" - Suck me off. Give me schitzo Jamal, egotistical Rob & sassy Boydy over those pricks anyway.

He probably feels that he has.. Maybe around the time of the broncos toilet cubicle thing
