Ellet Hanley for Bradford against Featherstone. Unbelievable try. I can still hear Ray French. he’s still going....and he’s still going.
Fantastic

He cut through about five players without anyone really laying a hand on him and made every one of them look ridiculous.
Sublime.'"
Incredible try |

Salford v Wigan many many years ago.
Salford drop out from between their posts.
Boston picks the ball up on his own 25 yard line and about 10 yards in from touch, steps right and straightens. He then beats two men just before the halfway line and cuts diagonally towards the posts. What seems like the entire Salford pack await!!
Right foot step, left foot step and accelerate. Somehow he's in the clear with just the fullback waiting, left foot step and the big Billy "see you later" hand off. Ball placed under the posts for an incredible try. The field looks like a war zone, Salford players scattered to the ground.
As Boston walks back the Salford players and crowd applaud him.
Now close your eyes and imagine it.
I was lucky I saw it happen.

That's one heck of a drop out from their own line to the opposition 25 yard line. 75 yards with the old style ball. I don't doubt the brilliance of the try Rogues but sometimes the passing of years can blur and exaggerate the memories.

Well, you see it happen; defenders misfield the ball and it runs away behind them.

The Offiah try at Wembley will always be remembered as the best but it wasnt really his best try. He scored a few others that were even better. It was the occasion along with the great commentary from Ray French that made it even more special. The Challenge Cup has never been the same since the old Wembley was knocked down and French retired. The twin towers and Frenchs distinctive voice were both part of the Challenge Cup experience.

The problem was, that towards the end of his career, you were never quite sure which game Ray was commentating on. |

| Ginger Faz crashes over in the last seconds to beat St Helens, the crowd goes wild and then the realisation that RedVee is going into a melt down as the bragging rights have been snatched away from them. Possibly the finest feeling if not the finest try in the world.  |

The Hanley one is the best for me , Leeds only got him at the back end of his career but he was still great , in his pomp he was as good as it gets

Warrington fan in peace(ish)
Without you lot shooting me, for a favourite try (not greatest)
One scored by Mark Roberts in the Prem semi in 86 @CP, simply for Andy Gregory's SUBLIME pass, and Roberts hitting it at speed.
RL at it's best
Sorry for that. Wink.
Back on thread
Hanley Bradford v Feb 83
Lydon GB v NZ Headingley 85
Lydon GB V AUS OT 86
Gregory M v AUS Sydney 88
Wide to West
Cats v Saints
But, better than Wide to West
SoO (game 1,i think) in 94
Q'land are losing by 2 in the last minute.
Langer/Meninga/Renouf and about 6 others. WOW.
It's on YouTube. You WON'T be disappointed. It's early on

Thanks, enjoyed all all of that, and yes, it was a super try. It might not be the greatest try ever, but I have to love the one where Shaun Johnson announced himself. Terrible video, unfortunately, I remember seeing it properly.
