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.

either mark preston 2nd try in the 1990 final at wembley edwards was almost tackled short of the line by mike gregg passing to preston to score.

or brett kenny in the 1985 final at wembley with brett running around the hull defence from half way

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

My era offiah at wembley and it's not even close

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"!

Struggling with this one .... don't know whether to go for Gouldings or Feka's try for the last game at the San Sero earlier this year

there is only one try in wigans history that stands out and thats the try that won us the cc reply at central park (god rest in peace) agaist st helens

sorry i have just come in ed geoff lyon and brian mctigue i was at school bunked off for dentist so called went to 3p pen

Quentin Pongia chip, Carney try 'nuff said



Seriously, from my time, Carney at Leeds was superb.

thank you for the you tube tries. funny i can remember the 80s tries better than the later years. must be getting old

The offiah try is my all time favourite simply because of the pure individual brilliance of a lendendary player in an important game playing at the peak of his career. Sheer magic.

The Radlinski try against Bradford because of the excitement of winning such a close game in the last second to go top of the league.

The Calderwood try at Bradford in play-off was also memorable because it sealed such an amazing come back. What a swing of emotions that game provided!

Another favourite of mine was the first try against Saints in the final game at CP. The atmosphere was tense that day and the amazing break from Robinson so early in the game signalled Wigan's pure determination to win that historic game. To score such a great try when there was so much at stake was amazing.

I was always thrilled by the many tries scored by John Ferguson. The long range one he scored at Warrington in the CC in 1985 sticks in my mind.

My personal favourite is an Andy Gregory try at Thrum Hall in the late 80's. From what I remember he ran virtually the length of the pitch contantly looking for someone to pass the ball to, before realising that he had crossed the Halifax try line with the Wigan fans screaming at him to put the ball down. Great try and quite amusing too.

I was at that match, and it was tied at 8-8 with about four minutes left. Had the score stayed like that it would have been the third successive draw with Halifax.

That was also the first try Andy Gregory scored for Wigan, after about four months of being with the club.

Watching those youtube highlights has just reminded me of another one. It was a JPS/Regal Trophy match at Central Park and we went 12-0 down to Leeds in no time. We came back but it was still touch and go until Mark Preston took the ball in his own half and took in what appeared to be an easy ball. He stopped running, dummied the ball, then literally f*cking legged it to the line to put us in front.

That was a fantastic try, and one that i can't believe hasn't made it online yet, considering that the BBC were there, Yorkshire TV were also providing full coverage from a scaffolding gantry on the popular side, AND CP Productions were there, all covering the match.

Has to be Offiah's try against Leeds at Wembley. I was hilarious to see Alan Tait tie himself in knots trying to keep up with him and then blame someone else for him scoring - absolute class

2 that stand out for me are.....

1. Hanley v Saints at Wembley when he was the best player in the world and tore them to pieces.

2. Dean Bell at Headingley in 1992. It was the first time Hanley played against us for Leeds and we had a tap penalty on the half-way line. Deano (playing opposite Hanley at 13) beat the whole Leeds side to the line and we won 24-0.....brilliant!

Carney vs Leeds

Only the other day I was holding the ball used in the 1965 Cup Final !!!!!, I remember the Final, it was the first time I had seen us win the Challenge Cup (having seen us lose in 1963), was sat in the corner where Lake scored.

seems most of the best ones are on the internet...but pre internet....i remember quite a few, but time erases which games they were
trevor lake at CP..........dove over in corner and grounded bal why about 2 foot off the ground moving parrallel to the ground, and landed 5 yard behind where he grounded it.
boston........towards end of career when he was built like a prop........just ran straight and flattened 6 or 7 players on his way to the line...no funesse, just brute force
hanleys side ways run and hop skip and a dance at wembley......class
carney..v leeds at headingley
and one i can never remeber who scored it because i was on a freebie in west stand lounge with free bar and i was a bit p!ssed.......may have been renouf?........v bulls ?........................chucking it down...kick through...chase....and dove about 15 yrd short of the line and slid along and grounded the ball .......match winner i think?

Probably Offiah rounding Tait in the CC final.

Closely followed by Hanley crabbing sideways in the CC final.

Mainly because of a combination of the occasion and the individual brilliance requierd for both - not many other players would have scored either.

Favourite international try - Henderson Gill scoring down the touchline against the aussies...............
