1.8 million if you go up, 800k parachute payment if you go down...there's your million quid! You're welcome.



Coulda, shoulda, woulda......won't!

He's good entertainment value though. If we wanted exposure like the WWE, he is the heel.

Didnt Les Boyd get 2 huge bans?

Different era I accept

Yep, including 18 months for deliberately breaking an opponent's jaw, if I remember correctly. At which point he came over here and finished his career without any trouble. Oddly, he was a very quiet and polite bloke to talk to off the pitch.

Boyd smashed Daryl Brohman's jaw and ended his career with a premeditated elbow. Got 12 months, wasn't back long and then picked up a 15 month suspension for eye-gouging.

At the time Jim Comans was on a purge to clean up the game in Australia, and Boyd gave him the perfect opportunity to put down a marker. If you watch some of the NSWRL stuff from the pre-Comans period, it was like Mad Max. Knees and elbows flying in everywhere, players being king hit and taken out off the ball.

Proper rugby back in those days ....
