Maybe not the best I've ever seen, but Alfie Langers try when he stole the ball off Tommy Martyn (?) was pure class. His face was a picture.

Mine was a Widnes try.... my Grandad used to take me to watch them when i was a kid.

Tony Myler took the ball from the scrum 5 yards from his own line, he then ran straight back at the scrum, chipped the ball over the top of it, ran around the side, caught the ball.... he then threw a behind the back pass to Alan Tait as they crossed..... Martin Offiah then changed direction, ran directly behind Tait who showed the ball to a Bradford player, before flicking it behind him into Offiah's hands..... before Bradford knew what was going on (and pretty much all the fans as well), Offiah was clear of all the Bradford players and still inside his own 20.. He absolutely terrorized the poor fullback inside out for about 40m until he fell over dazed and confused before he kicked his feet up and went into top gear and walked under the posts.. think he was the only player in that half of the pitch..... i never knew what happened really, but my grandad would always buy the video at the end of the season that showed all the seasons trys... it was an amazing thing to see.

Waiting for the 2021 RLWC:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_18764.gif



I've always loved the two tries scored by Phil Lowe when GB beat Australia at Wembley in 1973. Just discoved this on YouTube, first time I've seen them since the day of the match! It was my first visit to Wembley (I'd started at university in London that September) and my second was the 1974 cup final.

For the Wire, it was an 'ordinary' league match at Wigan, late 1970s, John Bevan got a pass from the scrum about twenty yards inside the Wire half close to the old main stand at Central Park. Beat about 6 pies on a 70 yard run to the line. No chance of ever seeing this one again, sadly.

Not the best, but one of my favourites was by Rocky Turner. I can't remember who it was against, but he had the ball near the Snookers touchline about 40 yards out, and then proceeded to run, sort of crab-like, sideways , diagonally, fending off would-be tacklers one by one until eventually flopping over the line in the opposite corner near the old scoreboard. The whole thing almost seemed to be in slow-motion. In fact, I'm now wondering if it actually happened or I dreamt it

Des Drummonds first wire try.
It might have been Dessies debut but either way my mate had been arguing we didn't need Drummond and he was a waste of money. I was not convinced and still thought he was the best winger in the country ....not long after this discussion Dessie took a nothing pass on the snookers touchline he instantly hit full speed and took his opposite winger on the outside. literally using the one yard of space he was given. ...

He tear d down the touchline to the Fletch to score a try that I hadn't seen a winger score before.....I celebrated most exuberantly if not just to prove to my mate I was indeed a know it all.

Kevin penny would be the next winger to score a try like that......

And I'm still a know it all. .....

Quote: sally cinnamon "This is difficult for me because the best try for sheer skill was probably Davies's in the cup in against Halifax.'"


Davies two tries at Thrum Hall in the Challenge Cup are able to be viewed on the famous video sharing website if you search for "Warrington Rugby League 93-94 tries Part 2" and go to 1 minute 55 seconds.

This was probably Davies best moment at Warrington because it was a comeback from being behind and they were two individual tries that came out of nothing, on a muddy pitch in windy grim conditions.

Watching them back now what is clear is how devastating Davies' change of pace was because in both tries he had multiple defenders around him but he wasn't stepping them* or handing them off, he just saw the space between them, ran arcs that would slip outside or inside the defenders and accelerated so quickly they couldn't close him down.

*in fairness, on his second try he beat the first man by feinting to kick and stepping him which is how he broke the line in the first place'"


I concur, I was one of the people on the terrace paying homage to the rugby messiah.

Those tries seem barely possible, miraculous. What balance and pace he had.

The other try that sticks in my mind was the Darren Burns 'ave it' effort due to the significance in the club history.

That's mine too, even thought the SOO try that went though about 15 pairs of hands was awesome.

Yeah i love that try....the comical defending and counting the forward passes always makes it worth a watch. Seen jiffy alone score 50 better tries than that.

Edwards 'intercepts' the final pass which wasn't meant for him.

Also it played host to the finest array of sideburns the sporting world has ever seen.
