Meh He said he didn't want to do the inerview but the Dragons made him do it.. No big deal Bennett did the same thing many many times.

No that's what Wayne has never understood. The media is basically the only way the fans of the sport can connect with the players. It's an essential marketing and promotional tool. By refusing interviews, or giving one word answers, or encouraging/condoning his players to do so, he is disrespecting rugby league and its supporters.

I understand he didn't want to do the interview but it is a part of the game. Way too sour. He could have tried a LITTLE bit harder than that.

I will back Boyd. What right does (most of) the media have to demand a fair go from rugby league after the way they have generally sold copy by pissing all over the game all year? Genuine stories a la Greg Bird are one thing, the Matt Johns type mud slinging is another. If I were a player I would tell them to go **** themselves.

I can see your point Coxy. However the players don't see the fans when they are being interviewed just the guys who have been writing dribble over the last few years. If Boyd was being curt because of his opinion about them then the media has to take some of the blame for that.
LOLZ, of course, maybe a little bit more delicately...but yes, give the public what they deserve, but still make your feelings known about how individuals in the group cover the game.
Either way he's going to get censured by the NRL for petulance toward the media. See that's the thing, there's nobody out there ensuring the media conduct themselves fairly. But the players and coaches get fined. Not really fair.
I'd love it for the NRL to revoke accreditation for media organisations who have staff who have perpetuated negative coverage of the game. Unfortunately that'd mean revoking accreditation for the Daily Shitograph, which is owned by the 50% owners of the NRL......

Have any of you ever had a conversation with Boyd? He always talks like that to whoever, not just the media. Dragons should probably have put more thought into who they got to front the media in the first place. Because yep both him and the club look bad after that.
