If due diligence has been carried out by Knights management there would be grounds for sacking Boyd without another cent being paid. He has failed to meet contractual requirements and attend sponsor events. He has partaken in anti-social behaviour and trashed a hotel room bringing the club into disrepute. And he has further failed to meet contractual requirements by leaving the country without seeking permission from the club. Additionally there is past anti-social behaviour that saw Boyd fined $50,000 by the Broncos for a toilet incident. Of course there is about as much chance of Gidley having done proper due diligence, issued warnings for contract violations, and documented everything as there is Boyd is actually suffering from depression.
