Re: The best try you ever saw! : Tue Jan 10, 2017 2:00 pm  
Des Drummonds first wire try.
It might have been Dessies debut but either way my mate had been arguing we didn't need Drummond and he was a waste of money. I was not convinced and still thought he was the best winger in the country ....not long after this discussion Dessie took a nothing pass on the snookers touchline he instantly hit full speed and took his opposite winger on the outside. literally using the one yard of space he was given. ...

He tear arsed down the touchline to the Fletch to score a try that I hadn't seen a winger score before.....I celebrated most exuberantly if not just to prove to my mate I was indeed a know it all.

Kevin penny would be the next winger to score a try like that......

And I'm still a know it all. .....

This is difficult for me because the best try for sheer skill was probably Davies's in the cup in against Halifax.


Davies two tries at Thrum Hall in the Challenge Cup are able to be viewed on the famous video sharing website if you search for "Warrington Rugby League 93-94 tries Part 2" and go to 1 minute 55 seconds.

This was probably Davies best moment at Warrington because it was a comeback from being behind and they were two individual tries that came out of nothing, on a muddy pitch in windy grim conditions.

Watching them back now what is clear is how devastating Davies' change of pace was because in both tries he had multiple defenders around him but he wasn't stepping them* or handing them off, he just saw the space between them, ran arcs that would slip outside or inside the defenders and accelerated so quickly they couldn't close him down.

*in fairness, on his second try he beat the first man by feinting to kick and stepping him which is how he broke the line in the first place


I concur, I was one of the people on the terrace paying homage to the rugby messiah.

Those tries seem barely possible, miraculous. What balance and pace he had.

The other try that sticks in my mind was the Darren Burns 'ave it' effort due to the significance in the club history.

That's mine too, even thought the SOO try that went though about 15 pairs of hands was awesome.

Yeah i love that try....the comical defending and counting the forward passes always makes it worth a watch. Seen jiffy alone score 50 better tries than that.

Edwards 'intercepts' the final pass which wasn't meant for him.

Also it played host to the finest array of sideburns the sporting world has ever seen.
