Badel's just dropped a long read on Darius in the CM, based around an interview.

Boyd intends to defend his captaincy. Says critics and fans won't bully him. They don't get his shit. Hasn't considered quitting since leading the drubbing that bundled Brisbane out of the finals. Loves the responsiblity of skipper, but if punted to regulars will do what's best for the Broncos.

His coach - who coincidently bears an uncanny resemblance to a dark haired Santa minus the beard - will announce the 2020 captaincy in time for Xmas. Most see Boyd gone, but he's still keeping his hopes up. Says "it’s been awesome having the captaincy" and that he's "grown to enjoy it" because he's been able to help young guys coming through. Claims he "enjoyed the captaincy more than ever last year" and that he did a "great job as captain" but will respect the coach's decision if he decides to upgrade the role to someone who isn't such a walking disaster.

Although Darius copped shit from a who's who of NRL immortals such as Fatty and Andrew Johns, the 33 year-old intends to keep ploughing. He repeats he's never thought about giving the game away. Not ever. He doesn't read the news, follow social media or watch sports shows. His mind and body feel good and he loves the game so it would be insane to give it up. Even when everyone is shouting "hang 'em up Darius." He's become adept at blocking out negativity. And it's working.

Talks about "mental health," but you're yawning so let's skip that.

Confirms his handsome, though portly, coach is toying with hiding him in the centres or wing in 2020. He's been training at left centre this week but if Staggs and Bird fill the 3/4's he'll be banished to the right wing. Those speculating he might start in the ISC are likely to be disappointed.

Prefers fullback but knows it's not up to him. Can do well at centre, like he did in Origin. If he avoids the chop he'll leapfrog Slater (319) in three matches and JT in seven.

Reckons his metrics this year aren't going backwards and he respects his roly poly coach - affectionately dubbed "Pies" - despite the revving he got when the season ended. Says Pies did a great job and likes how he schedules training and carries himself.

Talks in platitudes about life after retirement - end 2021 - but nothing that would interest you.

Absolute rip snorter of a Badel article summary McHunt, your best yet! Had to giggle at some of your wording, "He's become adept at blocking out negativity. And it's working", lmao!

Thank you fella, a great old chuckle before I hit the fart sack shortly 🤣

Wtf does he do in his spare time? Help his wife take instagram photos?

It’s smart that he doesn’t read those mediums because he gets torn to shreds

You’re a legend. Thanks for the stories, bud.

McHunt certainly does have a way with words eh! These new summaries have, in my opinion, added a real feature to the forum by way of cutting out all the CM fluff and having McHunt add his unique slant to the articles.

I reckon Badel and his fellow Newscorp butt-nugget 'germos' must be absolutely livid when they visit here now and see that we are basically getting their "scoops" still, in a condensed and completely legal format, even after absolutely following their order not to copy and paste their paywalled articles.

If you're reading this (and we know you are) suck a fat one Pete 🥳

Couldn't agree more
 
Nice one McHunt, considered changing your name to MacBoyd?
