Years ago playing for the school team, one of our players broke through from our own half. There was no one anywhere near him so had a free stroll to the line. On looking back and realising he started celebrating to early and heading straight for the post. Everyone could see what was going to happen and were shouting at him to turn round. Unfortunatly for him he thought we were all cheering for him. In a split second he turned back round and went face first into the upright

karl pratt playing for GB has to trump everything

In SL - got to be Sean Long tripping himself up after making a clean break against Wigan.

International - Hopoate falling backwards over the hoardings onto his backside against South Africa at Gateshead in the 1995 World Cup after scoring a try.

At amateur level - one of our props getting a huge whack to the boll0cks, playing the ball on the floor (ref let it go) and then crawling 20 yards on hands and knees to the sideline to be subbed, eyes watering, whimpering hysterically.

Calvin Wilkes playing full back for Keighley on a icy pitch.

He just couldn't stand up and was slipping and sliding all over the place. To be fair he really worked his socks off during the game.

You had to be there but we were in laughing all game.

Remember both Dennis Moran for London and Ben Black for Halifax making clean breaks with the line at their mercy and then knocking on against us. The Black one was particularly sweet as we edged them at their place in the NR Semi-Final. It's called 'ben black lad' on the video sharing website.

London v Leigh game and London scored a very soft try in front of the travelling Leigh fans as the Leigh players trooped behind the sticks for the conversion an Old lady all 4 foot of Her shouting at the top of her voice "Oi You lot do You want me to put a shirt on and teach You to tackle"

Paul Bishop slipping as he attempted the easiest conversion ever at Central Park and the ball scuffing under the crossbar

ajhwarrior doing the crossbar challenge. was like watching a lavalamp

Cant find it....

Can't remember that one but Gareth Handford once got over the try line at Hilton Park but stepped over the dead ball line while trying to mock your players before putting the ball down. IIRC the game was quite close at the time too.

1966 championship final, an old woman ran onto the pitch and battered colin dixon of halifax with her brolly for pole axeing john mantle of saints.

Gus Gould nicking Laurie Daley's chair during an Origin game. Should be easy to find. Likewise Lance Thompson running onto a tap 20 from Nathan Brown in 2000.

But the winner has to be the David Ferriol video that someone posted earlier. That is absolutely hilarious!

My mate tells a good story about watching a Runcorn Highfield game at Canal st, Runcorn.
In the days before kicking tees, Runcorn were taking another pasting when a wag from the crowd shouts to the then Runcorn coach (Geoff Fletcher), " come on Fletch, were running out of effing sand".

Kevin Penny was playing in one of the last games of last season IIRC and being enthusiastic as he is, he ran to the ball after it went dead, jumped to tap the ball and dropped it...

Also, although I've only seen the videos on youtube, Warrington vs Wigan 1 January 1988, Paul Cullen flat out on the floor and then as the Wigan player who had tackled him walked past, Cullen jumps up and starts a fight

Kelvin Skerret flying in the air to crack some Fev player in the middle of a brawl, and skimming off onto the floor.

If you watch that clip again, Super kel actually banjoes the Ref (Cummings) and knocks him on his arris.

That happens at least annually. Always funny.

I don't know about the funniest ever, but a few things come to mind that i've found really funny.

Michael Weyman linebreaks.

Michael Crocker getting KO'd by the ball in Origin '08.

Jason Ryles crawling outside the sideline in Origin '03 because he couldn't walk. Turns out he couldn't crawl either as his arm gives away beneath him and he clumps to the ground.

Feleti Mateo passing the ball to himself vs. Souths this year.

Jamie Soward tackling Greg Inglis.

The funniest thing in that is the commentator saying that Kevin Penny would have got him.


Saw Mark Preston do the playing the ball the wrong way thing.
Michael Jackson getting done for offside when we had the ball over at Saints to hand Saints a draw on a plate. Noone ever gets done for offside with the ball.


Salford player, i forget his name jumping in to the crowd at Thrum Hall to confront fans heckling him.
James Child.

Marcus Bai at Cardiff '05 - out the backdoor offload over the line to gift Hull a try.

Mason getting whammo'd by Kidwell after bad mouthing the Haka being the "big man" he is.

The look of confusion on Brian Carneys face after charging down a conversion and being penalised, "What do you mean its a penalty?". Cant remember the game, was about 4-5 years ago?

First that comes to mind is Wire v Harlequins Round 1. Myler about 30 metres out going to score and Thiery Alibert runs right in front of him. Was a great try saver. Good job we was about 30-0 up at the time.

Richie Mathers

You must never have seen Paul Carige.

Another one was being thrashed 60-4 this year by Warrington and someone shouting tell us about the honey mummy at Ben Westwood.

Aye, that reminds me 40-6
