One of New Zealand's greatest goal-kickers is playing his part in an impressive streak for one of the rising stars in league's NRLW competition

5 August 2025 - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

Daryl Halligan is a kicking consultant with the Knights - and Southwell says the former Kiwis, Bulldogs and North Sydney Bears wing has helped her with her processes and executing under pressure.

Halligan was the first player to reach 2000 points in the NRL and - despite retiring 25 years ago - still sits in the top 10 on the competition's leading all-time points-scorers list.
