Biography A perfect blend of pace and power, the man they call Magic signed a three-year contract with the club back in June last year after he was given permission by the Dragons to negotiate before the June 30 anti-tampering deadline.

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 Steve Folkes went with Millard from the opening round of 2007 and never looked back.

Millard was the 684th player to debut for the club and what a debut season it was. 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.

Millard 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.

Daryl has had post-season shoulder surgery and is likely to return in round 4.
