Being an avid atheist, (science and fact rules), I gave in so I tried to explain to my girls what God looks like and I simply had to show them Ellery Hanley v St Helens in 1989 at Wembley.

That try hands down, for me, beats Offiah, my hero, in 1994…

What’s yours? Who have I missed?

i think you've nailed most on there

one i'd add purely for sentimental reasons would be Hampo v Saints, after the heartbreaks he'd suffered keep breaking bones

i think the commentary adds to a couple of those tries when you watch them back too.

Not good professional tactics here from Wigan, taking the ball across the front of the posts - 10 seconds later the biggest grin Wembley has ever seen

Just look at Lydon go, reminiscent of those 2 great tries in 84, he's got Hanley inside him, that must be one of the all time great tries at Wembley


i also agree re Hanley, there have been quite a few full length tries but my favourite of all time is the one v Saints, i can still see him gliding through the defenders like they werent there, and just shows that he was on a completely different level to most players

Cant argue that hanleys is the best individual try at wembley although my favourite will always be Hendy Gills versus Hull

Also i thought one of Mark Prestons was worth a mention versus wire
