Best try I've seen

Posted by Parramate2 on February 19, 2017 at 9:31pm

In 2005 we played the warriors in nz, I think it was a home game we took over there. We end up winning 26 to 12. Bout round 9. We were 10m out of our own line 3 tackle getting smashed by warriors forwards. Tim smith kicks from mid field to Eric grothe who taps it another player, it goes through bout 32 diff hands and we score the try. By memory it changes momentum of the game for a great victory. Can anyone remember this try and has footage? Tried youtube couldn't find it lol

Any of my length of the field trys in under 15s or 16s would be my choice and probably the choice of many why were lucky enough to witness my white hot form on those Saturday afternoons on many GPS fields around Sydney.

I have this game.
Although im great at uploading videos il give it a shot when i can.
This was a home game for us that we took to hamilton,NZ and you'll probably remember how foggy it was.
We actually scored a tackle or 2 after Smiths chip to Burt but never the less it was a fantastic passage of play.

Thanku raid I can't fully remember the game, I'm sure it changed the momentum of the game. I remember the semi final against the cowboys, Tim smith tried it again didn't work that time lol was bit too big lol

  Cheers mate.
  I was supposed to say im not great at uploading videos.
  Your right, smith did try it against the cowboys very early for grothe who tried to grab it casually with one hand lol.
  You can tell from then it wasn't gonna be our day.
