      63 minutes, for 2 linebreaks, a try, 7 tackle busts and an offload, f*ck I'd love Mini to be doing ''nothing'' every game!
      However i agree shouldn't have been MOM, but who else would you give it too, Gasnier or Creagh maybe?

        I actually thought Trent Merrin was their best player, he was always difficult for our guys to stop, even with two or three in the tackle.

              Aha, young men giving 'one word' answers

              Nothing new.

              There's a CD, 2GB plays it:


              Did you have a good weekend?

              'Yep'.

              Did you go out anywhere?

              'Nuh'

              Do you have a girlfriend?

              'Nuh'

              How's your job going?

              'Good'

              What are you doing next weekend?

              'Dunno'

              .

                DB, just a young man who hasn't been 'media-trained' at media school...where they have cameras, lights, role plays, and teach the student to elaborate past one word answers.

                However, many of the questions the media ask just beg for one word answers...especially if you don't like the questions, or don't want to give much away.

                DRAGONS coach Wayne Bennett chuckles whenever he hears he came down hard on fullback Darius Boyd after his bizarre media interview in Wollongong 12 months ago.

                A moody Boyd left journalists flummoxed with a series of "yep" and "nope" responses to eight questions before they lost patience and left.

                Bennett later personally apologised to several journalists for Boyd's shortness. But he never, as some have suggested, dragged Boyd over the coals.

                "My wife Trish said she'd read an article where I'd criticised Darius or spoken harshly to him about his interview," Bennett said yesterday.

                "I said, 'Trish, I'm many things, but I try hard not to be a hypocrite'," he added, laughing. "How could I, of all people, come down on Darius for the interview when I've conducted some of the worst interviews the media has ever had?"


                He'd advised the club to sign up its players, never expecting Boyd, who'd been discovered as a tentative 18-year-old, to be released.

                "He came to me with tears in his eyes," Bennett said. "I said, 'What's happened' and he said, 'They don't want me'.

                "I said to him, 'Don't worry about it, I'll take you with me ... I'd love you to come to the Dragons, so let's go and get it sorted out' and we did."

                As he's done with so many players - most recently with Dragons five-eighth Jamie Soward - Bennett has instilled a belief and confidence
                in Boyd since switching him from wing to fullback that has elevated his game to a new level.

                Bennett has drawn comparisons between Boyd and Brisbane champion Darren Lockyer, with whom he shared so much success at club and rep level.

                "I can't fault Darius. There's not one thing at training he doesn't do to perfection. I do ratings for players on all aspects of what they do, the similarities [with Lockyer] are uncanny," notes Bennett.

                Boyd is taken aback and flattered by such comparisons.

                "Wayne's a very big part of my footy career and my life," he said. "It's a big wrap.

                "I have enormous respect for Wayne. He's someone I admire and cherish as a friend."

                Boyd said Bennett had always known when something was bothering him.

                "I'm pretty quiet. I bottle a few things up at times but Wayne is great at detecting when something is wrong," he said.



                "He's someone you can really confide in. He's a great person to have in your life."

                Now there's an idea!

                  the Spirit of anzac medal is voted by the people watching the telecast at home. His defence was unbelievable yesterday - we seem to focus on the ball carrying. Look at the replay and watch how many time he is in those tackles on the line
