Slowest try ever : Sun May 23, 2021 5:01 pm  

Have to say Aronas try was the slowest 40 meter run I’ve ever seen. Bless him he had a great game but if he ever had any pace he hasn’t now. Definitely an around the ruck player these days, think I’d have outpaced him

Have to say Arona is a real heart of the team player.

Played at prop with only a hia assessment for a break.
Was in that position because he'd been tackling.
He had a right to be slow.

But no matter how slow he looked, no one caught him.

PT I know that it just seemed to take an age for him to get there, may have been nerves on my part just seemed to be in slow motion.

Let’s put it this way Lino started 20 meters behind him and virtually over ran him in the end,

Arona deserved that try no doubt.

I think you did.

Agree never seen that before, good awareness from the big guy.

I've a feeling he might have shouted for it!

One of the strangest tries I’ve seen.

I thought he was going to need Lino to finish at one point, he looked like he was running in treacle.

Another odd one was the KR kick off that went out on the full and halfway up the North Stand. Don’t recall ever seeing one go so far out beyond the dead ball line.

There was a fair wind blowing up the pitch. Surprised there were no 40-20's.

Yeah my lad said that, had it been cricket it would have been a six that went out of the ground, very odd.

A brilliant moment on a very enjoyable afternoon. Just being there was a joy but the win was the icing on the cake.
