Wrong Fred.

 

[horrie hastings]

Russell Fairfax, especially before he broke his leg in an Amco Cup semi final in 1975. Still was pretty handy in 1976 and 77 but lost some of that special touch after the break.

 

[Whip Whitaker]

Darius Boyd

Yeah Bowen has to be in the top 5 for this.

Lockyer was as naturally gifted as anyone, Fittler too.

Henderson Gill?

I’ve also got Jason Robinson in the best of the English I’ve seen.

Another was Joe Lydon, who played here. He scored a try in Oz I remember which was one of the longest and best individual tries I’ve seen and recognised at the time. But footage seemingly lost.

Loads of other YouTube footage I’ve found on Lydon I’ve seen though. An example...

Addendum - I’ve found it. Lydons individual try. #4 in this footage.

There’s loads of others against the Dragons sadly. But the #1 is worth waiting for.

Some beauties there. Lydon's is pretty good also.

I have never seen that before.

Definitely not Dane Gagai, he's in his 10th year of 1st grade and has only had 1 season of double digit tries

 

[MrBlack]

Rhys Wesser???

theres a player who could find the line.

 

[Perth Tiger]

One of my all time favs is Tim Brasher. How he scored 100 tries considering he spent almost all his whole career in some of the all time worst teams of Balmain, Souths and the cowboys I’ll never know

Here it is starting at the 9min 27sec mark, Shark Park, Easts came back from 4-14 down to win. Great game to be at.

Edit, just realised you had found it. I had this game on tape and transferred to disc years ago.

Minis almost 100 mtr try against the Dragons right on the half time siren is a delight to watch again just as it was at the ground that day.

Cheers Horrie, what a cracking game. Salvatoris first grade debut and he was awesome. All sensational tries, and Lydons was just as amazing in slo-mo as in real time.

This game reminds me of another natural player who had a knack of finding the tryline..

Steve Morris.

And how good was the Week in League report! Full house at Henson Park.

Not for me it wasn’t...

Matt Sing is another one who often gets forgotten about

Yes Salvos first grade debut was a beauty, great try he scored to get Easts back into the game, couldnt believe David Smith converted Salvos try almost off the sideline then missed the conversion of Lydons try which would have given Easts the lead.

Yes about Steve Morris, found his niche on wing later in his career after playing half back . Was so happy when we signed Brett Morris because it meant he would finish his career at the Roosters , never imagined we would have Josh Morris either now so it looks like father both sons will finish their careers at the Roosters, all such champions and quality and respectful human beings, the Roosters are blessed to have had all 3 of them play for our team.

fantastic hiney, give more queenlanders, some great try scorers, share the love

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Obviously Blacklock wins this, that's a no brainer.

But it's a bit criminal that Nathan Merritt hasn't been discussed further, he played in some of the shittest bunnies teams ever but still managed to score a bagful of tries.

Also let's not forget GI, very gifted.
