| I'm sure people can think of a fair few, such as the famed 'Wide to West' with Eddie screaming Chris Joynts name as he went over the line, so, what last minute try has made you smile more than anything?
Mine...
The Leigh side of 2003 (I think), playing against a Donny side that was battered, bruised, and had just lost players due to financial problems. Donny were within 4 points going into the last 5 minutes, when the ball found its way out to the right wing, where it found Johnny Woodcock, a young Doncaster lad, making his home debut at full back (he'd played scrum half in the academy), got the ball and popped through the defence to score the winning try.
I've never felt as emotionally drained at a game, and that includes last seasons Grand Final.

| For me personally it was probably Cockayne against Wakey in our first SL game.

| 'Wide to West'
I've watched it a thousand times. I'm still in awe of it. Anything that made Elliot fall off is chair gets my vote

| Danny McGuire's try in the corner at the (then) McAlpine in the cup semi vs Saints in 2003
After Sinfield tagged on the conversion from the touchline to take it into extra time, I'm not sure what was funnier. The Scousers despondent faces after thinking they had won the game, or the idiot Leeds fans that had left the game 4 minutes earlier as they thought it was all over, then missed a superb period of extra time and a Leeds win

| I didn't see Wide to West "as it happened" as I was at home with my little 'un while the Mrs was out. I did however, listen to it on the radio and was leaping around the living room - which is quite bizarre.
I suppose then, that the one for me was the Cunningham try against Wire a couple of seasons ago

I have the you-tube clip in my "favourites". On a regular basis i dip in and have a watch of it. It's compelling viewing - every time i watch it. Saints fans are lucky to have that in the archives and memories.

| Really Abert – are you so dim that you can't remember what the AUP says about posting copyrighted footage that you do not own? Or are you so dim that you can't understand it? Or are you so dim that you can't remember being warned about it before? Or are you just dim, full stop?
Copyrighted footage that you do not own removed. In fact, since you've done this before and been warned for this before – and apparently have decided that you can disregard such matters, fare thee well. Mintball

| I still think that Queensland's miracle try was better. Why?
More players in motion to make the try.
St Helens were kicking and throwing it back and forward like basketballers, keeping the game alive, waiting for something to happen. Nothing brilliant there.
It was Long running across field and passing Wide to West that made it happen. Then West and Joynt showe individual skills to beat men. So it was Long, West and Joynt -- three men --- who made the try.
But the Queensland Miracle try was much more a triiumph of brilliant support play as if it was choreographed by a master puppeteer. 10 men involved, some twice. It was pure ecstasy!
Let's put it to a vote!

| Paul Parker at Rochdale for the Robins a few years back in the play offs, broke the hearts of the Rochdale fans, all six of them.

| Radlinski against Bradford in 2000 then Farrell kicking the conversion to win the game.
Phil Bailey against Leeds in 2007.
Not a try but Farrell's drop goal against Wire when Briers thought he'd won the match with 2 DG's.
