I know im not allowed to do you tube links but type this into it and marvel! Absolutely amazing!

David Mead's one handed pick up try

Was pretty special as was Shaun johnson's for New Zealand Warriors that weekend !

That pick up was just ridiculous!

Both where superb


It's light years ahead of super league

just seen a cracker from Widnes, superb play from Hulme the fullback!!

mcaffrey V wigan at the boulevard

Gary "that dummy" pearce


Was that the same game Hull's prop got stretched off ( can't remember his name

) after being flatterned by Shelford ????
Then coming back on to "find him"

Got the game on video somewhere and haven't even got a video recorder anymore

you need a BETA MAX front loader

Terry Reagan ??

Think you mean toploader, mate.

Has to be Dane O'Hara away evening game at Castleford,

Ran through the entire Cas team.

Sensational!!!

David Mead's try was an outstanding piece of individual skill but for a great team try there's few better than the 'miracle' try scored after the hooter had gone that won Queensland the game in a 1994 state of origin match.

search: Queensland miracle try

Both were outstanding tries. Johnson has pace to burn and great balance.

Fosters try when he caught the ball behind his back was a far better finish than Meads as he actually knew and meant to do what he did.

We had a coloured winger , played for Leeds when we were relegated. He scored 2 amazing full length tries at Doncaster about 15 years ago ish ? McNamara was still playing for us . He was fast as hell. Name evades me ?

paul Sterling, leroy "sideways" Mckenzie

Sterling. Scored some great tries, remember one at fev

Sterlos try at Donny was amazing

You were there ??? wasn't many I don't think and he scored twice , Sterlo. We went down that year ? can't remember we were sh*t and big Mark Jones stutter man was with us i think ??????????

It was a quality pick up at that speed but its not the best try that ive seen,

Couple of seasons back Thomas Bosc scored an amazing try. Chipped the defensive line, picked up the ball, then chipped the fullback, regained the ball and went in under the sticks.

If you google search 'Thomas Bosc Try' the first link is to a video on DailyMotion of a montage of Bosc clips. This try is the first clip on there if anyone wants a watch. Not sure if I'm allowed to link to Dailymotion or not.

Seconded that man!!
I don't really remember it as I was 12 or 13 but my auntie who worked in the old clubhouse bar at the time used to take me to the away games & still says it was one of the best tries she's ever seen. I know we were a bit excited at the time



The mead's one is not much to do with skill, great effort to be in the right place but huge amounts of luck with the ball bouncing into his hand perfectly. looks spectacular obviously but not much skill IMHO.

Anyone remember Lee Jackson hiding the ball behind his back, tapping and scoring? Sheffield away I think?? My memory has gone to sheeite!

At Headingley - 2002 IIRC.
