Daryl Halligan on his epic kicking history, toe-pokers & the evolution of conversions | Matty Johns

For anyone that respects the two point converters of our game, then they would know Daryl 'Chook' Halligan. He joined Matty Johns, Fletch & Hindy on Sunday night to answer some of your questions, and revisit his masterclass against Parramatta in the 1998 Preliminary Final (sorry Hindy!)

"Any more questions sausage dog" 🤣🤣🤣

[@elrey8876]

Hazem El Masri continued the tradition of feared Bulldogs kickers for a long time too

[@thequantumgate3260]

And it would have continued if the Bulldogs haven't dropped Jonathan Thurston to the Cowboys.

[@michaelmchenry1717]

Great segment! The GOAT

[@rileyo4238]

Thank you Chook we love ya

[@i-3307]

He could pot 'em... Help the doggies win a lot games with that boot

[@slyonme]

i wish this guy was involved somewhat in the bulldogs....all the respect sweat blood and tears its all been thrown in the bin thanks to the players and ceo

[@dantaylor897]

Greatest NZ league kicker hands down. And an all time classic character

[@Nile15rush_fj]

Some great kiwi kickers in his era for sure tho

[@gulello]

great goal kicker, good dude...........but terrible league commentator

@@dantaylor897 you're right nobody asked for my opinon on DH's commentary abilities. Can I ask you this - do you rate his league commentary?

[@owent2032]

I remember Michael da vere curling the ball before JT

[@critterwatene8073]

The man. Great segment.

[@abc-ke2yq]

Thank - you very entertaining

[@forjordy9969]

8:31 Love it every time I see this kick

[@nobletenshi7659]

One of the great goal kickers of our games, Great to see him.

[@dantaylor897]

"But your pregnant? " ok we will get married then. Hahaha

[@RugbyLeagueHistory]

Norths had some sort of curse with goal kickers. In 1997, Jason Taylor missed 2/5 against Newcastle including a kick to send Norths into the grand final.

[@enemyofthestate357]

Good on ya Halligan 1 of the best ever

[@fsoubris]

How does Adam Reynolds not feature in the conversation of top goalkickers?

[@lebumbcrack7248]

83% over his career isnt a shabby stat but where's that consider in top goal kicker conversation? Honest question.

[@lebumbcrack7248]

Sorry looked into it and the considered GOAT Hazem El Masri had 82%

[@jakeismyfirstname]

If Reynolds is still at 83% in 5 years he’ll be considered one of the goats

[@lebumbcrack7248]

@@jakeismyfirstname 83% over 9 years, kicked 90% 2nd year into NRL career

[@taylerwade2729]

the bloke gets injured every 2nd week so he loses respect.

[@Nile15rush_fj]

I remember one of the footy OGs telling me about 2 great around the corner kickers. One was the great John Gray and another was another English player for Penrith i think but his name escapes me. I heard both were elite around the corner kickers at the time and were probably the first guys ever to use it in the top grade

[@nathansmale1516]

johnny wilkinson maybe i don't know just guessing

[@luxpoloie3056]

Lol So good.. lol

[@charleslee2651]

Rod Wishart had a way of kicking too...

[@docgonzales]

Those first synthetic footballs were garbage, no wonder 67% was considered good. The crow, Mick Cronin kicked 27 straight in 1978 with those leather pointy steedens, steel cap boots and all. Legend

[@RugbyLeagueHistory]

Matthew Johns says "Mick Cronin was the first star goalkicker", uhhhh what about golden boots Keith Barnes from Balmain in the 1950s and 1960s?.

[@gatecrasherkz7]

Who???

[@cc8530]

Steve Gearin-berries, Graeme Eadie-Manly, Steve Rogers-Cronulla, Steve Johnson-Dragons. I remember these when i was a kid.

[@forrestgump447]

Interesting that Michael Witt never gets mentioned in the best goal kicker lists ... but had the best % of them all

[@alexandrakingi8502]

💯 62 goals from 67. Technically he had the best percentage in a season.

[@petermelb123]

probably the best kiwi to ever play

[@andrewmead4183]

That kick at 8:33 though😮😲

I use to practice kicking like you as a youngin
