EXCLUSIVE: Mark Geyer left 'gutted' as NRL icon 'completely stitched up' and replaced by Beau Ryan and Aaron Woods
In a shocking turn of events, one of Mark Geyer's biggest backers has opened up after Triple M unveiled their new brekky radio hosts.
Esteemed Sydney businessman and former Penrith Panthers player Lou Zivanovic spilled the beans to Yahoo Sport Australia on how Mark Geyer is struggling in the aftermath of his abrupt departure from Triple M radio.
Geyer, known for his hard hits and tough tackles on the field, is feeling the support from the loyal western Sydney crowd that he has always championed.
The radio station, in a surprising move, announced that former NRL players Aaron Woods and Beau Ryan will be taking over Geyer's spot on the airwaves next year.
Geyer, who has been left blindsided by the decision, is still trying to make sense of why he was given the boot from the breakfast program he co-hosted with comedian Mick Molloy.
Despite Geyer's absence, the show is still being marketed as 'Mick & MG in the Morning,' and there have been no explanations offered on-air regarding the sudden change in lineup.
Fans have started a petition urging for Geyer's return, and the community in Sydney's west is standing behind the beloved ex-footballer who has always been a vocal presence for the area.
Zivanovic, a prominent supporter, is standing by Geyer as he navigates his way back into the media game following this curveball.
Geyer, known for his on-field grit and determination, is determined to bounce back from this setback and show that he's still got what it takes to be a prominent voice in the rugby league world.
