Sonny Bill Williams slipping over the dead ball line at the HJS in a world cup group match, and most of the crowd pishing themselves laughing.

That Bridge moment was the first to come to mind after the Atkins one.

I have another one. Ritchie Mathers chasing back a kick against Wigan at the DW, fluffs it so badly he ends up doing some strange forward roll before ending up sliding along the grass on his face with his body in the air.

No one suggesting the Mike Peters "KICK IT!" moment from 2000?

Get back under your bridge,

There was 2.5 minutes left and a long drop out wouldn't have gone to half way and would have eaten up the clock and a drop out from an easier position. It was for me a risky play but was worth a go.

It was Duftys shithousing that got the possession back. Also I thought that Dufty was one of the few players that came away with any credit when players couldn't be arsed to get behind the line so he could run out the tap from the 20 was shameful.

Lots wrong today but that for me wasn't even the key/worst moment of that match let alone a contender for worst play ever.

Tex Evans "racing" down touchline with shorts round ankles for Salford? v us. Always a great mover!

I have a sketchy memory of Toa taking an interception at the Willows and being certain to score, knee’s it from his own hand.

Ratchford has done that at least twice. He looses the ball often easy because he carries so many in one hand.

Spot on. The short drop was actually on; the ball just bobbled in a really unfortunate way which made it really hard to pick up when it crossed the 10.

Also would have been better if he didn't have two props either side of him, Williams would have been a better foil in that option

I recall Bridge doing something similar against Hull in the 2013 challenge cup semi final and they scored from it, Lineham going nearly full length of the field.

EDIT: Just seen it on YouTube. Good lord it's worse than I remember!

i was going to post this as well.... remember seeing this at the time and being amazed.

That's amazingly bad, it's about the equivalent of an own goal in football or as close to it as RL gets..
