10 Biggest Radge Packets Ever To Play For Newcastle

6. Daryl Janmaat

A new entry straight away, suspicions that the Dutchman is another cool-looking Radge Packet in the same vein as Mathieu Debuchy were confirmed when he took exception to the raucous behaviour of Liverpool's Mario Balotelli by testing the strength of his shin pads. And his legs. Janmaat is the kind of silent assassin that Newcastle players tend to love - though it would have been a lot different if his all-out frontal assault on the Italian had led to a red card and a loss for his side. But then, the calmness that he affected in choosing his target, and then walking away serenely after spinning him in the air like a 12-year-old Russian gymnast was as convincing as it was utterly chilling. That commitment is great to note, but the ease with which he switched might mean we're going to see a lot more cards coming his way.
