Five Try Hauls (98-present)

[Fangs]

A shout out to the guys that missed the cut...

Craig Gower bagged 4 against the 'Northern Eagles' in 2000. Impressive as he was playing in the 9 that night:

It was actually 6 I think. Most I've heard of in a first class game.

Martin Offiah scored 10 for Wigan in a Challenge Cup match against Leeds.

What forwards have scored 4?

I know Gary Coyne did in a finals match vs Manly in 91. Menzies managed it a couple of times. I can't think off any others off the top of my head.

Gower was just mentioned, he played hooker that night.

Jamie Lyon got 5 against the sharks in 2003

Absolute classic match.

2 send-offs and 2 sin-bins. Though Peachey's was more of a walk-off.

Go to 30 seconds to see the moment in all its glory. Classic Peachey:

Hugh McGahan scored 6 vs PNG in 1983. He was also captain coach of the Roosters in 1990.

Big call calling the 1997 WCC first class

i remember matt sing bagging a hat trick but also butchering a 4th and having a BS forward pass take another one off him.

Would have been good having 1 representative on the list

 

[King hit]

Nigel Vagana's 5 against Souths


Merritt's 5 against Parramatta


At 2.39 in here you'll see Mal's 5, 7.59 McIndoe's against the Gold Coast and at 29.54 there is ET's 5 against Souths

Are you referring to this game?

Utai struggled that night. The first try has El Masri AND Utai playing on the same side of the field. Talk about a mis-match:

 

[Rhino_NQ]

nah was a normal season game. There is a few hat tricks between himself and ty Williams but unless someone pulls one off in another GF that there will stand above as the best of them for along time.

Wasn't the first time utai got shown up badly against us, must of had nightmares after awhile

Bowen, Williams and Sing. Brilliant back 3 in their prime. And yes I remember a number of hatricks from the lot, particularly the two wingers.

4 tries to Hayne AND Morris vs a tough USA outfit in 2013:

Anyone recall x2 players in one game scoring 4 tries each?

 

[Rhino_NQ]

pretty sure mad dog bagged 5 in a warm up match for us for the 2000 WC

 

[edabomb]

In terms of 4 tries as a forward Jason Croker also did this twice while listed at Lock for the Raiders. Who knows where he played for the majority of the games though.

Here is a list of the most tries in an NRL match:

[WaznTheGreat]

Jarryd Hayne scores 5 tries every week

Go to 30 seconds to see the moment in all its glory. Classic Peachey:

I remember going to a mates place to have a few beers and watch that game. I had recently moved back in with my parents after a break up. Walking the 2km home, alone, in the cold I remember thinking "Can my llife get any worse". It was like a Smiths song.

I will never, ever feel sorry for Parramatta after this game. They did a lap of honour after the game like they had achieved something magical. Since this time I have started working with the Sharks and consider John Morris to be a mate. I enjoy razzing him about it and he is like "in retrospect that was a mistake".

There was a farcical moment where Cronulla had 10 men on the field , it was like 64-4 and Michael Sullivan attempted a field goal.

 

[Fangs]

Parramatta copped some back.

Harrigan sent 4 to the bin against Newcastle the year before.

 

[FireFalcons1]

Most importantly, when was the last time a player to scored 6 tries in a match?

 

[PARRA_FAN]

According the link that was shown earlier, Jack Troy scored 6 for Newtown against Easts in 1950 which was the last time that happened.
