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!
Quote="Sammy Stripes"Brandon Costin v Leeds in 2003
Giants ahead all the game and battering Leeds throughout, Leeds tie the game up at 24-24 with about 5 mins left through a try from David Furner. Giants bring it down the field, lose the ball, Calderwood tries to pick it up but kicks it instead, Giants recover. Costin goes for a drop goal, charged down, 6 to go. 1st tackle, Costin takes 2 defenders with him and plops the ball down!
Fantastic Stuff

Michael Eager's last minute try in the corner to nick a game off Fax, after Dean Sampson had put in one the biggest hits I've ever seen on Olly Marnes sticks in the memory.
I also seem to remember Jason Flowers grabbing a last minute try against Leeds in 1995 to win a match.
