That's a good try, I've been pig hunting with Les at Warialda.. Shame he didn't stick it out longer.

Good memories.

When in a wedding marque out in a black soil crop paddock that experienced a shit load of rain before anyone could arrive, no one could get in or out for days. Les and a couple of fella's managed to drink all of the refreshments before anyone could get there, true story..

Would love to see that game at again at Kogarah, the Roosters were down and almost out trailing 9-15 then came the crazy last 11 minutes when Jeff Masterman crossed over to make it 14-15 then Noel Cleal knocked down a Craig Young pass and then picked up the ball and raced 55 mtrs to score and put us ahead 17-15 then for good measure Les Cleal charged down a Graham Wynn kick and scored to put us out reach 22-15. Would love to find a copy of this game somewhere.

That was pretty sweet. Even with Vautin's name being mentioned.

[TDK]

Wow, that gave me goose bumps.

I have to agree that I reckon it's not just the best Roosters try but on of the best rugby league tries.

[Hawkeye]

Also in the Turner stand that day.

The irony was that try (widely regarded as the best ever) failed to win the official try of the year that season because ....... it was scored on a Saturday.
The try of the year award that was awarded back then was only awarded to tries scored during the Rex Mossop Ch 7 Big League sunday arvo replayed game !

Was in the Turner stand when thatw as scored

at the time of witnessing the try a close mate said to me that was the best try he had ever seen. funny how most thinks its the best easts try. nice to see bondi/paddo head gary warneke feature in the try.in my opinion the 360 degree runby Horrie made the try.

In my eyes John Harveys pick up off his toes and pass pretty much in the same in the same motion was the pivotal moment in that try
