I heard his Grandmother is gravely ill and may be on her deathbed. No idea when Darius found out though, perhaps he should have sat out yesterdays game.

all the sympathy in the world for him in that case
but really if he knew before kick off, a decision should have been made not to play him

he was absolutely gutless yesterday. Barely even had a crack
which i would understand if there is some family issue in the background, but playing him in those circumstances was a poor call.

and even accounting for that, he's still got the most slappable face in RL (Kiddley runs a close 2nd)

Maybe Bennett had just told Darius that he was replacing Kearney at Parra in 2013.

It has to be his call to play. Besides, his form didnt suffer too much. Feel for him under the alleged circumstances.

I hope that isn't the case. He's talked about her a lot, so it's obvious she means a great deal to him. Hope his form turns around soon though, he did a great job for us the past few years.

I remember him saying on the footy show years ago that she was the one that raised him.

He should have just sat out. If it's going to affect your play, you shouldn't hinder your teams chances at winning.

Well when your grand mother raises you most of your life due to your parents having marital issues you are going to be incredibly close to her and be devastated if anything happened. If its personal issues I truly feel for the bloke.

Maybe he thought he was ok until the stress of the game tipped his emotions over. Being brought up by my grandma he has my sympathy if this is what's going on for him. Cut the guy some slack.

under those circumstances, i understand his feelings but that is not the place to be playing FG football

someone at somepoint made the call to play him, whether it was him or the coach, and clearly it was the wrong call
his head was never in that game, he was a spaceman
his form hasnt been great this year, in fact it hasnt been acceptable considering the coin outlaided, its been sub par, but yesterday was... gutless

which is understand if a family incident as described has occured. But he shouldnt have played.

If off field things are affecting him he shouldn't be playing. He should take time off and come back when he's right.

As soon as he puts on his jersey he is saying he is right and ready to do his best.

If he's in this kinda emotional state he really should have some time off... Especially if it's a matter of family.

That being said, seems to me he's been playing Like a heartless merkin since he first signed the Newcastle contract
