Mine is the try Tingha scored against the Tigers in the final minute to win the game where Warren Smith and Laurie Daly say that that try has just got him a NSW jumper. How wrong they were. I think that was back in 2000? Not sure the year.

Tinghas try against the Storm in the GF was pretty special as well. Unfortunately a bad day. If the Dragons won it would have been talked about more but the only thing everyone remembers is the so called penalty try.

Also Coopers try against the Chooks after a Mat Head chip and chase. Pure class from Matt Head. After that season he got injured unfortunately.

Some good picks there Slippery. Two others stick in my memory:

Gasnier against the bulldogs before he left for France, where he made a break up the middle and beat about 5, turning Patten inside out, at Kogarah I believe?

Cooper against Manly when we came back from 34-10 down with about 20 mins left, and all our fans were leaving. I think it was Head who put a chip in, which got charged down, restarting the tackle count. It landed with Blacklock who, as unpredictable as ever, kicked it on the zero tackle.
Coops ran it down and scored. Warren Smith said "And it's a red and white tidal wave sweeping Manly at Kogarah!" great win that, would've loved to have been there.

Good picks there, loved that Roosters Anzac day game too. I think Blacklock would really dominate this thread, I liked the one where he put an in and away against Lee Oudinryan and streaked away on the sideline with Oudinryan in tow. A Mundine try against Norths in the 1996 final against Norths from half way he ran away from Matt Seers. Jamie Sowards pass inside to Nighty I think after beating about 5 defenders in this years final against the Tigers.

There have been too many but the one that sticks in my mind was Teddy Goodwin's effort in the Grand Final of 1977 as reported below.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]"Then, just before half time, 'Lord Ted' scored a miraculous try when he burst through and chipped ahead from halfway. Confronting his opposite fullback Phil Mann, Goodwin kicked again. A footrace followed with cover defenders Graeme Atkins and Ed Sulkowicz joining in hot pursuit. The ball trickled towards the dead-ball line but Goodwin got there first, hitting the ground hard and knocking himself out in the process.[/SIZE][/FONT]"

Ben Creagh against the nites in 2010, he seemed to carry half their team over with him. Also Wayne Bartrims effort in a semi was special. Brownies 'rabbit trap' was special [Laurie Daley didn't think so. lol] Lord Teds was up there, along anything from Changa or Tingha:D

Nothing beats the one to win the game against Wests Tigers by Blacklock and his room service bounce. Also one comes to mind is the one he finished off when we smacked Souths back in '99 where the ball went through many sets of hands and Tingha followed it up with another trademark backflip.
