If u think this is a sensational finish u don’t watch much NRL
@Willie Murphy: Ah Willie, I never said it was the greatest try ever scored in NRL history. Seriously, if you’re not impressed by that, we’ll have to get you out for a game some time.
@Niall Kelly: have a look at Jordan Rapana’s try earlier for the Raiders, unreal
@Willie Murphy: should have carried in opposite hand! That’s what I’d have done as I text with my right.
@Niall Kelly: I would take u up on that offer but unfortunately I’m in New Zealand! But don’t worry I’m sure il find a kick about round these parts
