Looks like its going to happen. https://www.nrl.com/news/2018/10/04...with-ivan-cleary-and-seal-wayne-bennett-deal/ Hopefully a lot of players become available. Tpj and Oats will be available if they don't go to the Tigers.
Boyd has stated he wouldn't follow Bennett this time around and was happy where he was. Weirder things have happened. He also said he liked Newcastle even though everyone knew he was gone and quit on the Knights in 2014.
