1989 title decider at Naughton Park.
Wigan looked the better side all first half, a couple of minutes before half time we throw the ball around, Mike O'Neill makes a half break for us and in contact just throws the ball forward. Darren Wright kicked it ahead and Offiah pounced for a try. Holdsworth must have decided Wigan had won enough, and to let somebody else win something so totally ignored it.
It got us back in the game only trailing 10-12 at ht. We scored first second half and went on to be crowned champs.
As an aside, in the same game I saw the greatest try I've ever seen live, Offiah's hat trick try where he left Mark Preston for dead and rounded Hampson in the corner. A bit better than how we've done this year.
Not sure if we are allowed to post youtube links but you can see the Mike O'Neill touchdown pass here, around the 12 minute mark.

Our most infamous one of recent times had to be the Jordan Tansey ‘try’ at Magic Weekend 2007 vs Bradford when he followed up Sinfield’s penalty that hit the crossbar even though he was offside by at least 4 or 5mm

I have little memory but am sure it was more than a quarter of an inch. |

HKR v Queensland 1983. Queensland were playing dirty all first half so after being tackled, Mark Broadhurst stood up and just floored the player at marker. Robin Whitfiield just gave a penalty and the Queensland player had to be helped off iirc. Hull KR went on to inflict Queensland's only defeat of their tour. The hit in today's game would result in a minimum 5 game ban.

On a side note, I was taught by his Mrs and met him a few times as he used to come in and do some PE type after school activities. What a thoroughly nice couple they were. She was a fantastic teacher and he was a really nice bloke too - loved to talk rugby. |

I liked the way Whitfield gestures to the player to get up when he’s clearly been knocked out |

The chip seems to belong to the 3 posters who have taken objection to my post. I didn’t mentioned any one club by name as a smaller club yet the 3 aforementioned posters who felt the need to retort just so happen to support the same club. |

I wasn't there - twenty odd years before I was born, but my Grandad went to the 1953 Challenge Cup Final and he always swore blind that Peter Ramsden's first try was a double movement. He still won the Lance Todd though!
Here's the try - about 25 seconds in. I think his momentum carries him over, but my Grandad didn't have the benefit of the big screen replay.

I think it helped he was something like NZ heavyweight boxing champ. He was also involved in a massive punch up in Aus with a Jets player.
It does remind me of a GB v Aus game where Rod Reddy bites Jim Mills in the tackle. Mills get up, nuts Reddy & snots him on the way down. Penalty to GB, get on with it. No Aussie dare come near to Mills. |

What an interesting fact. Doesn't take away the fact your opening paragraph is very bitter. |
