Bennett will need a fullback that does what he's told, Boyd is a shoe-in. Remember, Brisbane want Benny and Wayne is not about to have a makeover . . . he comes with warts and all

TBF first time I had seen the full thing and I thought she was horrible as a reporter. Did she really say "him leaving is a bit if a bugger isn't it?" No excuse for his lack of professionalism but she hardly came across as a Joseph Pulitzer!

The reporter wan an amateur. What a stupid thing to say.

Darius was quite within his rights to do what he did.

It's not like he abused her or anything.

If Brisbane can sign Boyd, unless he's on a second tier contract (right), they are without question over the cap.

They shouldn't be allowed to sign him on a second tier contract after Parra missed out on Folau. Have to pay him close to his worth.

She's working for the 6pm news or some brekky show and talking to a footy player. Most of her audience wouldn't know who or what a Pulitzer is. She wouldn't want to alienate them by getting too high brow.

Imagine the possible run on team:

1. Barba
2. Boyd
3. Copley
4. Hodges
5. Hoffman
6. Milford
7. Hunt
8. McGuire
9. McCullough
10. Parker
11. Glenn
12. Gillett
13. Thaiday

As if that would be anywhere near under the cap

Bennett goes full circle3:39
CONTROVERSIAL Newcastle fullback Darius Boyd could face a club investigation following revelations a luxury hotel room he was staying in last week suffered $1500 worth of damage.

Staff at Chateau Elan, an exclusive spa resort at The Vintage in the Hunter Valley, found a smashed television, broken glass and a hole in one of the walls of the apartment Boyd stayed in with a female companion, believed to be his wife Kayla, after the pair had checked out last Thursday morning.

Resort general manager Joe Spagnolo on Tuesday confirmed the damage to the hotel room but said the incident had not been taken any further after Boyd rang to apologise.

“He rang me after they had left and apologised and offered to pay for the damage that had been done,” Spagnolo said.

“There was a television that had been smashed, a small hole to one of the walls and a broken wine glass was on the kitchen floor.

“It’s disappointing but I’ve seen a lot worse. We’ve had the CEOs of banks driving cars on to the golf course and doing doughnuts and causing all sorts of damage.

“I don’t know what the two of them were doing and I don’t want to know. As long as he came good with the money to repair it. The bill came to $1500 and he’s paid it so that’s where it’s been left.

It’s understood Boyd had been given several days off training along with the club’s other State of Origin players Beau Scott and James McManus and took advantage to spend Wednesday night at the resort, which overlooks the Greg Norman-designed Vintage Golf Club near Cessnock.

Spagnolo said the pair had enjoyed spa treatments during the day on Wednesday and believed the damage must have occurred sometime that night.

“We get a lot of footballers come in and nine times out of 10, there are no problems,” he said.

“But like I said before, I’ve seen a lot worse than that.”

Knights CEO Matt Gidley said last night he had not been made aware of any incident regarding Boyd when asked for a comment by The Daily Telegraph.

“We have certainly had no official complaint and no knowledge of the incident you are referring to so it is pretty hard to comment,” he said.

“If that was to change, we would absolutely investigate it and speak to the player involved.”

Could you imagine the investigation.

Police: Mr Boyd, were you staying in this room on the night in question?
Boyd: Serious, are you just going to hammer me with questions?
Police: yes, that's the whole point of an investigation.
Boyd: I can't even celebrate a good Origin win

Yeah rang up and apologised and has paid it, no big deal. Would be better if he didnt trash the room but atleast he has owned up to it. The hotel owner has said he has not put in a complaint and will not.

Really it's all no big deal eh????? Just makes me wonder what type of person feels the need to trash the hotel room whilst staying there with their wife. Seriously something wrong with this bloke.

A drunk angry person? I dislike him as much as anyone he is a f**ken idiot but imo its no big deal. He rang and spoke to them and has paid the damage, no complaint was made to the knights or the NRL.

Put it in perspective then, its not really criminal act since he paid for it without being chased and no one was hurt(presumably) so unfortunately these days it ranks pretty f**ken low on the scale of NRL players f**king up.

Who is to say his wife didn't cause the damage??

A few people in the media have said that Boyd has got a few personal issues he is dealing with (from memory it goes back to when he was crying in a dressing room & Uncle Wayne gave him a cuddle).

There must be something going on that we don't know about.
