| What about Hanleys ghost try against Saints in the Challenge Cup final 1989?
I also loved the Radlinksi 2000 try, both Carneys tries against Saints and Leeds around the same time, any one of Robinsons tries and I liked the one at CP against Canterbury in 97 where Farrell chipped it to the corner, think Connolly caught it and passed it to Rads around his back for him to score, cracking try.

| My 2 favourites are Offiah's try at Wembley, it was the first Wembley final that I can remember (been to one before it when I was too young to remember anything) I was sat level with where he broke, and just remember everyone jumping up and someone throwing me up in the air so that I could see him go over.
2nd one was Carney against Leeds in the playoffs. I couldn't go to the match because of uni, but watched it in the union and everyone, even non wigan/RL fans were screaming for him to keep going and get over. Great stuff.

I cant believe I forgot about that one. A casual glance makes you assume that Hanley is zig-zagging through the opposing players, but in reality he runs in an almost perfect straight line, just turning his body as he goes.
Fantastic try.

On a similar note, I couldn't make it to the Warrington game this year, so I watched it in the Stag in Orrell with a few mates. Joel Tomkins' try had the same effect with everyone in there - I've never heard a pub explode like that any other time.

| My 2 favourites are offiahs at wembley as it was my first and only final i have been to and secondly the try that Brett Dallas scored against Bradford in the last seconds of the game at the JJB and ran pretty much the distance of the pitch to clinch the win when the bulls fans thought that they had won.

| Not one of my favourites but one of the best tries i have watched would be for Wigan reserves last week. I think it was Josh Vievers who finished but Wigan took the ball on there own line from kick off, passed through about five pairs of hands going the length of the field in the process.

| offiah at wembley,pure individual brilliance scored in the biggest game of a players career.
Henderson gill at wembley,a try and a smile that will live in every wiganers(edit-every true rugby fans) memory scored in still the best challenge cup final ever
slightly o/t-best drop goal
Joe lydon's long range kick in the semi final at main road, will always feel priviliged to have been there watching it float over in slow motion

| Saw all the 85 and 88-95 tries too. Does anyone remember Trevor Lake's try and fantastic dive in the 65 final against Hunslet? He must have dived about 5 yards from the corner for the crucial final try. Can still be seen on old videos. Trevor Lake was the first of my "heroes"!
