Darryl "The Big Marn" Brohman (born 22 June 1956) is a retired Australian former rugby league footballer and coach of the 1970s and 80s, now best known as a commentator and media personality. Brohman played professional league for the Penrith Panthers and the Queensland rugby league team. At present, he is working for 2GB on its Continuous Call Team broadcasts, on The Footy Show and makes guest appearances on the Australian version of the ESPN show Pardon the Interruption. In the summer, he plays a small role in the nationally syndicated radio program entitled Summer Weekend Detention which broadcasts from the Sydney studios of 2GB on weekends during the summer months. David "Thirsty" Morrow has been by far and away, the best acquisition to the team.
Brohman attended Wavell High School in Wavell Heights, one of Brisbane's northern suburbs, and completed his Senior year in 1973.
He has a partner Beverly, and they have two children, daughters Lizzie and Ruby.
While still at high school, Brohman played first grade for Norths in the Brisbane competition and was developing into a skillful, ball-playing forward with a good kicking game. He was awarded the Norths Player of the Year in 1976 and won Brisbane's Rothmans Medal as the league's best and fairest player in the same year, joining John Brown, Steve Calder, Neville Draper and lookalike Darryl Duncan as winners of the award from the Norths club.
Brohman then moved to Sydney and played for the Penrith Panthers, from 1979 to 1983 (being the club's captain from 1982–83) and again from 1986 to 1987, and the Canterbury Bulldogs in 1984 and 1985. Brohman played two State of Origin matches for Queensland in 1983 and 1986.
