I could give two f**ks if he's peddling his sorry ass on the streets to pay for a heroin habit.

If the f**ker is going to hold a place in the Knights lineup, he'd better f**king have some pride in the jersey. He can f**k off and die, otherwise, for all I care.

Absolutely, but a missing $200k could have a massive impact on him financially regardless of what he is otherwise earning

From my understanding, his Knights contract was paid in full on time but the third party top ups (which are not guaranteed) were outstanding

Same thing happened to us with Craig Wing. While it was going on, he played like a busted and then he picked up and pissed off to Japan mid contract.

It sucks for the club when 3rd party goes wrong as the cap rules state that the club can't guarantee 3rd party deals and that the players management must sort them out.

Sadly, the end result is that the bloke ends up with the shits because he isn't getting paid and it shows in performance. Regardless of where the actual fault lies.

To be blunt, Darius Boyd sucks massive elephant schlong.

I think you're all over-analysing things - he just plain sucks.

I beg to differ. When he's on, he's a great player.

Eh. I've yet to see something from him that suggests that he is in the elite class tbh.

He had a few good seasons, but he is over-rated as anything. IMO, of course.

He's not elite by any stretch. But he's a talented and very adaptable fullback with excellent support play.

Is he worth $600k? f**k no.

But he's worth $350k+. And he can win you footy games when you need it.

He's an Origin mainstay and a Premiership-winner on big bucks, so I suppose he could be classed as elite.

I just think that sure - he's talented. But he's not nearly as good as his price tag suggests he is.

I've never rated the bloke. He does what I've seen a lot of other fullbacks do and nothing he's done (aside from that intercept) made me sit up and think, "Wow!"

Merritt was never anything but a winger. Every man and his dog could see that. He was a duplicate of Nathan Blacklock with half the talent.

And, using players from my own club, Luke Burt.

Solid club-level players, but only God knows how they played Origin (aside from Burt, and he was the one who deserved it :p).

Plodius Boyd...Yuck. Not a fan.

ash graham, would never knock his effort and attitude and was sad that injury made him hang it up but god knows where he would have ended up without JT and Bowens try assisting abilities

Ah, Ash Graham...

He had a good season for us before Webcke decided to sit his humongous arse on Graham's leg and snap it.
