Him scoring that crucial try and playing for 75 minutes with a broken jaw in that GF makes up for all the rocks moments. That broken jaw moment is NEVER mentioned anywhere except the Wall and Chookpen. He also played test footy for the Kiwis, so he is no mug.
A Roosters legend.
All the best Skidsy!

Can't recall ever seeing him run down from behind ! The 4 try game against the Broncos was probably his best. But highlight would be scoring the GF try that put us in front and on our way to the 2013 title ..with a busted jaw ! Well done and a big thank you Skidsy

What about that intercept try in extra time against the Tigers to win the semi final of the century in 2010! (Best team in that comp, too!)Last edited by ccfc bondi; 05-25-2023, 09:02 PM.

A great Rooster is SKD. Is he level with Mini on 139 tries, with D Tupou 3 behind? There are a few different lists online, not sure which one is right.
If you score 100 tries in the NRL you are one of 77 people who have done so in the history of the game according to the list I found. By any estimate, you are a very serious NRL player if you score 100 tries in the NRL.
When my partner texts me from the bedroom which is 10m away, every time I think of skiddy and that bird texting each other 400 times a day when they're in the same house...
The try in 2010 v the Tigers will never be forgotten.
A try scorer.

Rocks and Diamonds was a term many used for SKD But I think there were more diamonds than rocks This one moment was definitely a diamond

Not a very heady player but very committed, and he could pull a big play when you needed it most. As others noted, that intercept try will live forever as one of the greatest Rooster moments.
