[Yosh]

Especially with that shocking beard...

He must be the luckiest guy ever in the NRL... He has been playing outside Inglis for the better part of a decade. Most of us on this forum could do well outside of Inglis... He had two touches that night, all he had to do was dive over to score. The one time he wasn't a metre out, Morris stopped him.

Great try saver today.

...for a minute there he forgot he wasn't wearing maroon.

Rumour doing the rounds on Bulldogs forums is that Boyd is looking to get a release, anything more solid on this coming out of the Knights?

Well, we do want him gone

Yes Please - sooner the better

 

[perverse]

Geez, hope that rumour is true. Have had enough of the princess.

 

[The Showstopper]

Knights should sack him today and show that we will not cop people not 100% committed. He slapped us in the face Wednesday Night. Bird for Boyd trade now at The Titans. He is no chance of joining Broncs or NQ. Broncs sacked his arse.

There's a rumour doing the rounds that Boyd has asked for an immediate release, with likely suitors the Dogs or Canberra. It was also mentioned that it was regardless of what Bennett is doing - he just wants out apparently.

The door is over there, Darius.

Not sure how true it is, but I've heard from someone in the Newcastle RL that has connections with the Knights that Bennett will sign with the Dragons in the next few weeks as soon as he meets with the NRL to get him released from the last year of his contract. I heard from the same person that Mamo will be going with him as he has a clause in his contract that allows him to leave if he's signed to another club by November - if not his contract kicks in and he's here for another 2 years.

The rumours about Boyd asking for an immediate release would certainly fit if Bennett's leaving.

Sorry mate, just edited my post. It did say in the rumour that it was regardless of Bennett's movements, but yeah it still wouldn't surprise me.

 

[macavity]

Had a fantastic game on Monday.

I have always rated him. Just needs to play hard every game.

 

[perverse]

If he is asking for a release then the cynical side of me says that it was probably just to prove he can still do it for his new club. There's no doubt that he's a world class player, but I'm certainly well done waiting for him to put in.

It's always possible that the third party payment never came through and that he's not willing to play for substantially less than what he thought he signed for, too.

 

[Noname36]

If this is true, the immediate release part makes me think it's the Bulldogs and they want him to help their campaign for this season. The money thing has been going on for months and he looked pretty happy last night so I doubt his 3rd party stuff would suddenly cause such an issue over night.

More likely the Dogs have worked through the fine print but need the Knights to release him. They're still a chance this year, but can't do anything without a proper fullback. Other clubs he's been linked to in Canberra and Titans are done for the season so I don't think he'd be screaming for an immediate release to go to either of them right now.

 

[Zoidberg]

Man I hate the situation were in.

 

[Noname36]

Man I hate the situation were in.

Yep. The worst part for me is the uncertainty and not knowing. Regardless of who's going, I just want to know so we can start rebuilding.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

If mamo had such a clause I guess that proves what we were all right with mids being useless.

Sounded like a very bizarre clause to me. The bloke I heard it from is usually on the money but I'm hoping he's dropped the ball on this one and gotten some wrong info from somewhere.

 

[perverse]

If we lose Mamo, I dead set give up.

 

[Allstar Knights]

I do expect a few players to follow Wayne when he leaves us, but I have to admit that I'd be gutted to lose Mamo. We would probably still have a pretty decent backline in the future without him, but it would still be very disappointing to lose a local talent as promising as him.
