The footage was taken at half time.
If it was a family issue - you gotta give the guy a break. That said, unless we KNOW, you cant blame people for going off on a tangent - especially given his history of "loyalty".
It reminds me of the Robbie Farah off season comments by a journo on how he was unhappy was the club, with the usual tealeaf reading pointing to a breakdown with Benji/Sheens/whoever. Coming straight after their finals exit - it was destined to become classic LU cannon fodder. Then the story came out about his mother - and we all understood and cut him slack.
We have to understand there was family issues behind Boy's wail - doesnt mean we have to know what it was. Without that, all we have is footage of a one time gun fullback tearing up at halftime and being consoled by his human security blanket. What do you expect the reactions to be?
maybe he's tearing up cos it's finally hit him that a) he's living in newcastle and b) playing for the knights
i think i'd be crying too
Its Wayne that should be crying, he has to try and coach the pick.
I can picture it now:
Wayne: "Darius you ok? you look a bit below your best"
Darius: "Umm, yep..naa..yep...sweet...yep...naep" *Bursts out crying.
So I take it most people in this thread have never cried before for some reason or another? Hypocrites the lot of you. Football players aren't immune to showing emotion.
at least we can now confirm he gives 2 shits about what is going on out there. i much prefer to see this than him having a laugh in the sheds.
this is all something our team needs to go through. we'll come out the other side stronger and more focused. focus and discipline is coming very hard for us, particularly where ball control is concerned. no-one ever said it was going to be easy, least of all Wayne Bennett.

How many of you losers have done that?
Certainly not me
but ive never bawled my eyes out over a regular season football game on national tv either... you win some, you lose some i guess
