A perfect blend of pace and power, the man they call Magic signed a three year contract with the Bulldogs in June 2006 after he was given permission by the Dragons to negotiate before the June 30 anti-tampering deadline.
In 2006 whilst at St George Illawarra, Daryl played 11 first grade matches, scoring four tries.
He appeared in the Dragons victorious 28-0 Semi-Final win over Manly in which he dove over for a four-pointer.
After being forced to use makeshift centres Sonny Bill Williams and Reni Maitua out wide in 2006, Bulldogs Coach Steven Folkes went with Daryl from the opening round of 2007 and never looked back.
The 22-year-old was second to Sonny Bill Williams on the top try scorer lost with 13. He missed only one game all season and was second to Willie Tonga in the line break count with 16.
Daryl played a total of 1,992 minutes, providing eight try assists, making 180 hitups, 63 dummy-half runs and gained 1,825 metres for a brilliant all-round performance.
In the 2008 NRL season, he played 12 games as the Bulldogs finished last on the table and claimed the wooden spoon.
In 2009, Daryl played 11 games for the Bulldogs as the club finished second on the table and qualified for the finals. Daryl missed out on playing in the club's finals campaign as they reached the preliminary final but were defeated by arch rivals Parramatta at Telstra Stadium.
In 2010, Daryl joined the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats team in the Super League competition on a 2 year contract.
