Darius Boyd is retiring at the end of the year
Reckons he had a lightbulb moment when a mate asked him if this was it.
I reckon the lightbulb moment should have been when it was clear how few fucks he gave early last season. Two seasons too late for Broncos fans.
One of the more over-rated players of recent times.

@mariner4life Darius Boyd. What a fucking average player. I am dead serious.
look at his career highlights
-
an entire career built on being on the end of the Qld backline where far superior players handed him the ball to score.
And following the ultimate chequebook coach Bennett around and jagging a premiership or two.
Can't, and won't tackle, isn't quick, isn't a ball player. Just a bog average back. Most Bronco fans were ecstatic to hear he was retiring, and then gutted it's not with immediate effect.

NRL players do pre-season regional school visit. NRL players meet school girls. NRL players take said school girls back to their hotel.
NRL players are in a lot of trouble. Mainly because they are idiots.

What part of your brain thinks that's a good idea?

Even if you're straight outta school into an NRL team and you still feel 'part' of school life, surely you give it a massive sidestep??
Just incredible the lack of brains

has sneak given up the ghost?
He's just sitting, fingers poised over the key board, eyes closed, slowly shaking his head, wondering what to do.
it would be the worst preview ever
Among the pundits, we are overwhelming favourites for the spoon
No props. Adam Blair. Shit halves. The overpaid Nikorima to the bench already. Kearney. We are proper fucked.

I think they will win their first game and set expectations soaring.

Knights away? If they do there will be massive alarm bells in Newcastle.

Good grief. Consensual, legal sex leads to the Bulldogs losing two million in sponsorship. What has the world come to?

i just read that. i am astounded.
that's got to be an excuse for a company pulling out of a deal due to changed economic conditions surely.

It’s a family restaurant. I don’t see why any reasonable contract wouldn’t have a clause about behavior that negatively reflects on the brand (association) that led to them sponsoring the club.
I would imagine even if the deal had been done and underway, they could choose to pull out, which would be their right.
I do think it’s silly to expect NRL players to not be idiots, but just because they didn’t do anything illegal doesn’t make them creeps, and this ridiculously stupid behavior will influence and reflect on the team’s value as a sponsorship target - I mean you won’t send their players to schools or other kid-friendly events to try to promo your restaurant chain/brands now, right?
The brand value association is far less valuable. I think this is a simple business decision.

I should imagine any sponsor involved with the NRL has that clause automatically inserted by the NRL these days.
