      Good player, better bloke.

      Will live on in Roosters history forever just with that intercept agains the Tigers, still one of my favourite moment supporting the Roosters.

        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!)

              Congrats SKD
              He was king of the Clanger but gee he could find the line. His go ahead try and heroics in 2013 GF make him a legend.

                Struck me as one of the stupidist centres we've ever had. But definitely had some big moments.

                  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 but a Rooster legend in my book.

                        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

                          I hated the R & D term and how it was always labelled on SKD.

                          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.

                                every time I think of that intercept try, I unintentionally think of the other intercept try he was involved in the 2015 final v broncos.
