Try of the season?

[Super Freak]

Could this end up being the try of the season? It is so far.

Impressive effort indeed !!

Still a long way to go in the year though, and with the athleticism of the players these days, i dare say we might see something even better down the track.

True but that try is going to be bloody hard to beat.

The commentators who go on about the athleticism today for these freakish tries are forgetting one thing. They're only happening since they changed the rules to have the corner posts in play. I can't argue with them being described as freakish, but it didn't happen in years gone by because they'd be ruled in touch most of the time. They wouldn't risk those superman jumps because of the corner posts.

Maranta's two tries this season have been impressive finishes.

Well, if you're talking about relative increases in athleticism, they are unmatched.

 

[Harry Sack]

Will be in the top 3 for sure come the end of the year.

Definitely agree. Wingers have it much easier with the corner post not being out.

Yes and no, just before they changed the rule we were seeing freaky ones, reaching around the post which IMO is what inspired the changes, wingers of years gone by just didn't have what these kids do today

Maranta will score a better try this season ... you just watch.

 

[Super Freak]

Nah. Maranta will jump up for it, then tuck it into his side and bomb it.

Frankly that wouldn't win my try of the season. It's a spectacular effort and display of athleticism but there's very little 'football' to it. To me the great tries are the ones that go through many sets of hands and involve numerous members of the team. Personally I'd rather watch see a try in the vein of Mark Coyne's origin miracle or Blake Asyhford's against the Storm last year than a guy doing a very spectacular jump.

So would you call this the try of the season so far?



Or this?

 

[Ari Gold]

I don't think either of those tries are all that great and probably wouldn't say they are better than Morris', but I'm quite confident there'll be one in the next 23 rounds.

Barbs didn't even look like attempting to tackle Inglis after that horrible chip.

 

[Ari Gold]

Definitely a better try than Morris' IMO. Also think SJ's against the Tigers, whilst not as skillful, was much more fun to watch than Morris'.

Doesn't even give a toss lol, "there he goes.. meh"

My new fav try of the season was in the manly v raiders game. Chip gets returned by Stewart passes to Evans, banana kicks it infield another player saucer kicks it into the post and a 4th player gathers it and scores. Too lazy to find he video right now
