I’m only surprised he didn’t retire the same year as Bennett.

Frees up $2m in the Broncos cap.

Just in time to re-sign Fifita
They talk up the story like it was as if he had a really tough decision to make! LOL!!!! He is off contract at the end of the year, has struggled to hold his lace in the team, and was stripped of the captaincy this year. Was there any other choice??!!!

Under any circumstances it's very hard for a competitor to step away from the game. Especially if it isn't on their terms.

Im not suggesting it was an easy decision, but the inevitable was, well, inevitable. He has simply saved himself the humiliation of wanting another contract and not being given one.
Dont get me wrong, the guy has been incredible throughout his whole career, but Did anyone honestly expect him to go around again next year?

Did Wayne Bennett retire?

I only wish we were as smart as the Broncs.

15 game trigger for 2021, the last year of his contract.

Could have possibly used that clause for Foran.

So hold on does he get paid or not because I find it hard to believe someone walks away from hundreds of thousands of dollars..

He is retiring at the end of 2020. He only would've had a contract for 2021 if he had played 15 games or more this season. Broncos would've capped him at 14. Now he can play the whole season without getting a new contract.

My favourite Darius photo
I think it was when Wayne told him there'd be no more "bitty".

Channel Nein going on about Boyd's "shock" retirement... It would be more of a shock if he didn't retire.

Do these media hacks even bother any more? Reckon they just have a short list of extreme adjectives to choose from and they have to squeeze one into every headline.
