I'd depressingly put Ryan Hall's try at number one. A magic moment in rugby league which makes our sport so thrilling. Plus... Had had that try not been scored I don't think you'd have won the final.

I'd agree....for me much more than try of the season: it was such a huge turning point culminating in a historic treble winning season when right up until that point it might so easily have just been a CC winning season. And at that point after the hooter forcing a helicopter to swing round from practically landing at Wigan. I will never never forget that moment of huge elation and excitement.

As others have stated the "non" try at Wigan was well in contention for no.2 and Hardaker's try v Warrington was pretty special too (and if he had passed to Burrow in the same match Leeds mights have had yet another contender !!!)

Putting my Leeds bias aside for a moment, I also enjoyed McGillvary's try v Castleford.

Enjoyed Handley's hat trick try away at Saints when Sutcliffe put in perfectly timed cross field kick over to the corner for Handley to run onto and place down with the Saints defenders awol.

Bernard Foley's try was a superbly worked RL try. Even if it was it the RUWC v England.

Two of his hat trick against saints at home merit a mention too. Particularly liked Watkins breaking, feeding the supporting McGuire who knew Handley was looping round the inside and passed without looking for Ash to go under the sticks. The dummy that left their full back standing was decent too.

Not far off with that but for me the Saints CC semi performance was our peak.

Peacock's try in that was enjoyable too. Not top 5 but one to bring a smile.
