    The best prop never to have played State of Origin for NSW. A real travesty!

    Very unlucky to miss out on an Australian jersey at the end of his standout 2005 season with the Wests Tigers. History will show that Australia lost that series and desperately needed some new blood, such as Skandalis. The Kangaroos coach stayed with his favourites, lost, and was dismissed soon after.
