Daryl Halligan (born in Waikato, New Zealand) was a rugby league player for the North Sydney Bears (1991-93), Canterbury Bulldogs (1994-2000) and for the New Zealand national side. Before defecting to the professional code of rugby league, Halligan played amateur rugby union for Waikato. He was among the first of the high profile New Zealand players who moved to rugby league.
Halligan was renowned as fine goalkicker, his 855 first grade goals coming at an impressive 80% success rate. At the time of his retirement he held the competition point scoring record at 2,034 points (subsequently surpassed by Jason Taylor and Andrew Johns). He also scored 80 tries, and kicked 4 field goals.
Halligan is currently a commentator with Sky Network Television in New Zealand.
