The LU punching bag

[tumbidragon]

Ben Hunt is surely the successor?

he bombed his chance ...,

 

[ACTPanthers]

Corey Norman & Ben Hunt cop the brunt of the dragons fan fire. Could be likely to succeed here in the basis many think they are under performers.

Moses, Gutherson, Brown have a general dislike from the public and get bagged at every opportunity.. could be any of these...

Valentine Holmes could be a roughie..

Ponga and Cherry Daly-Evans are widely loathed but are actually very good players.

But the undoubted king of kings, who gets more grief on LU than 13 Darius Boyd’s..

Cameron Smith.

Another championship to add to his absolute Alladdin’s cave of trophies. No player has had more threads of disdain added to the LU forums than Smith. He’s an immortal in this regard, Boyd never came near him. Even though he’s widely regarded as one of the best players of all time.

Please tell me this was just a happy accident?

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Please tell me this was just a happy accident?

Oh no, it’s in the right order - at least what I call him by anyway..

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Gags would have to be it imho.

Or Jarrod Croker.

 

[TheDalek079]

Luke Brooks? Especially if he keeps missing the finals

I would like to nominate Lachlan Lewis from my club

He was my first thought too, but to be in the true Darius mould you need to be rated by someone first. I don't think that will ever happen with Lachlan, he seems more destined to fill the big clown shoes once occupied by Josh McCrone.

Gagai is the best suggestion I've seen so far, I'm still not really feeling it though. Queenslander, check. Walk up for rep sides, check. Plodder more often than not, check. Something seems to be missing though, he doesnt posses the natural smugness of Darbs. Maybe he needs to get on the Panthers bandwagon once Souffs are eliminated from the finals. That could be the ticket to get him over the line.

With Darius gone it’s time to move on to the next cat who won premierships and origins without contributing much.

I nominate Braith as he seems desperate to stay involved with the game publicly. He deserves to keep getting flogged for decades.

You're probably right. Seems too easy a target as well, almost like picking on the disabled kid at school.

Is Pearce a joke to you people??

Wait don't answer that

Wait don't answer that

I think Pearce has matured and become a more solid player on field and less of a jerk off field..

 

[muzby]

It would have to be someone from the tigers, wouldn’t it?

 

[Jason Maher]

Mitchell Moses

They'd have to be successful....

 

[t-ba]

I’m surprised Danny Levi hasn’t rated a mention yet by Moanly fans.

Why would we talk about a future ex-Manly player?

 

[Rabbit toes]

There can only be one successor

I Bleed Maroon

 

[some11]

Mitchell Moses

Broncos should sign him.

Hate boner intensifies.

 

[Perth Red]

You need lack of heart and lack of ability, somehow make rep teams and have a long career to make the Darius club.

Nothing to do with personality. What he's got going for him now is he doesn't play for the Roosters, and he's not polarizing an entire state with his ineptitude at state of origin anymore

 

[Bazal]

Looks like Kalyn Ponga might be the one LU leans on...?
