Blacklock last minute try

[tigha84]

the most exciting player ever

[pacificpitbull]

Unfortunately EXCITING footy is not always somethinng that's high on the list with the selectors. The guy knew how to score!!! Nathan Meritt is another guy these days

[mootube6]

was this filmed with a rock?

[DamienMcLachlan]

Not a Dragons fan - but Geez that bloke was a great winger!

[jazhullfc]

Awesome!!! :D amazing player!!!!!

[grogandroppa]

OOooooooooooooooooooooo YEAH!

[ChomFa]

He was a genius....from a Tigers fan. I loved watching Nathan play.

[Marz2605]

OH MY FUCKING GOD! WHAT A FUCKING TRY! AFTER THE SIREN TO WIN THE GAME OH I LOVE BLACKLOCK YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrSydneyKing]

Blacklock was brilliant. He scored some exceptional tries, and some that no one else in the world could ever score. I wish we saw more of him in a NSW & Aussie jumper.

[1Linko1]

i know him in person my bro played with him for the tingha tigers when they vsd glen in the gf, when glen started throws cans at us

[krammazda]

When he made the Country side, but not NSW that year, I drove to Bathurst to watch him play the CvC game on a Friday night. Best attacking winger of all time.

[broncorule78]

because of the nswrl selection criteria, he is black and most of u from nsw know its true

[jackyboyy13]

so natural! what he lacks in size he boast speed pure instinctive brilliance. nsw selectors need to wake up and start pickin deadly back fellas ..

wolfman.. steven turner.. lyon .. gidley.. PLEASSE!

[iamjanan]

He was awesome. I'll never understand how he didn't play rep footy.

[mokauroots]

DA MAAAN!!!

miss watching Blacklock and Mundine play footy

[Marz2605]

caus he doesnt like hull its miserable.

[regeasauce]

why couldnt he run like that when he played for hull fc? bambi legged cunt!

[Marz2605]

who got the jersey instead? shaun timmins or someone i think...

[deansdoodle]

Jamie Ainscough.

[nathraider100]

he still plays rugby union in canberra

a few games this year for the vikings

[mytonprop]

he got a bit of stick when he went to hull but i thought he was class

[Howaboutandre]

are you serious!, he should of gotten more than a nsw jersey, top try scorer for many years. GO THE DRAGONS

[tcsonline]

those were the days....

[iforgettt]

What a joke. A New South Wales jumper. fucking cunts. This bloke deserved everything. leading tryscorer in 3 consecutive seasons

[dazzadidja]

@iforgettt , so true, so true

[dazzadidja]

@iforgettt Blacklock 2001. State selectors claimed that Blacklock's omission was necessary due to his small size and possible deficiencies in defense, because he would have to mark up against larger wingers such as Wendell Sailor or Lote Tuqiri. Ironically the NSW Blues lost the series 2-1 and were humiliated in game 3, 40-14, where QLD wingers Lote Tuqiri and Wendell Sailor NSW wingers Adam MacDougall and Jamie Ainscough, Ainscough who was coincidentally Blacklock's Dragons wing partner

[wavecrashes]

tingha

[Punkd1633]

nathan blacklock is a great player

[mwadad]

all we need is the man munni and blacklock bak and watch us kill all

[crazychigga]

He was always my favorite player when he was with the dragons, and he did get cheated out of that jumper. Nobody was better in attack on the outside.

[jimijackson]

one of my fav all time tries,,,man 99 should have been our year sigh

[Andymartin1983]

thank the man mundine for the loss.

[myboomstick]

thank the man mundine for getting the side into the gf

[Andymartin1983]

yeah cos that makes up for dropping it over the line...

[myboomstick]

yeah cos if it wasn't for choc annihilating the sharks in the final we wouldn't have had a shot at the '99 gf in the first place...

[Grazmataz37]

it was for 77 minutes or so.

[ajrees]

What a try!

[jfsmith881]

but he still didnt get the spot

[roostersrule2]

shit team great player kwl backflip

[surfie11]

"shit team" YOU would say that.....HAHAHAHA

[kmank2]

The best part of this play for me was the Lance Thompson cut out ball to Blacklock. That's what set it up. Sure the run, chip and try was spectacular, but that pass was brilliant man.

[scarefaceR18]

one of the only players that should have gotten a blues jumper !

[itsgonnabefullon]

Got a roooooooooooooooooooom service bounce!

[nickdick93]

What a fucking lucky bounce!

[surfie11]

Nothing lucky about that my friend!!! The man was a talented machine - check out his stats. You sound like a friend of mine AND he's a Tigers fan. HAHAHA

[MonkeyJunkieVids]

blacklock was my fav player! go the saints

[AchillesShield]

Unbelievable. Blacklock was the top try scorer three years running, in 1999, 2000 and 2001 when this try was scored. How he didn't make the NSW side we'll never know. Besides NSW got flogged 40-14 in the decider that year, with Sailor and Tuqiri killing Ainscough and MacDougall. Great choice selectors!

[jimijackson]

racism. the word the nrl dont really want to hear mentioned.

[verve71]

first time i've seen this try (i was living overseas at the time). brilliant stuff. maybe not as good as his try in the 99 GF but fuckin good anyway.

Go the Dragons!!

[george4411]

shanec u must b th biggest moron of all

time. choc mundine playd origine. adrian lamb playd. bowen has playd. get ur facts strait b4talkin

[kraziestylecrew]

blues selectors aree wANKERS FOR NOT PICKIN HIM...CAUSE HIS BLACK

[colonet]

wtf is rugby?!

[deansdoodle]

That thing me & your mum play.

[colonet]

[LaserionBlack]

who the fuck is this dude?

Just shut the hell up if you dunno anything about it

[colonet]

is rugby rally that good of a sport? like all the other ones? seriosly.

[nk7792]

well for starters, rugby shreds. and this isnt rugby. rugby is a common phrase used to describe rugby union. this my friend is rugby league, a different sport.

[jk94111]

thank god sum1 on this website agrees- ive been using league evry where n dum foreigners seem to pin it back with union thank u my frend

[albino809]

wat about footy???

[jk94111]

yea that aswell -footy league or even use all ur voice box by sayin rugby league but no callin it rugby. and if by wat ur sayin u mean wat about footy another sport wich is either afl or soccer then u can call it footy but soccer is called soccer but im 99% sure u dont mean that

[shanec24]

selectors don't like picking indigenous players it's bullshit it must be a racial thing matt bowen never gets the call up

[deansdoodle]

lol moron

[milwaukeelithium]

that try should've booked him a blues jersey....fu**em

[myboomstick]

how the fuck didn't he get a blue jumper? O.o

[Tingha7]

TINGHAAAAAAAAAA..........

Best winger of all time....

After that try wouldn't u think he would of got the blues jersey......

U could watch that try over and over again....

What a player....

[VLC05L]

He was a great winger but there were better in his time.

[GC69KirraBadboy]

BLACKLOCK....most exciting winger in NRL his natural talents on the field were above the rest... but Fuck the Blues Im from QLD

[steviejames93]

one of the greatest players of all time

shame he quit when he didnt get the blue jersey :(

[pkcoolio91]

racist cunts didnt give him a jersey.

[loveableloui]

black lock the best winger never to play 4 nsw ,thats why QLD are better thay pick the players that should be there shame he wasn't a Qld

[nappa694]

blacklock is the best winger ever

[DinkiDiDude]

ON YAH TINGHA WE MISS YAH DUDE!

[t3hik]

[BaBgUrL89]

I live in the same as dis Macka... His my cuz!! I was at that game madd try!!

[bazzar84]

ah yes that match, what a player 20+ tries a year for what 4? consecutive seasons?

When I was watching it I was about to walk away after the set but then he scored.

[pilligapigger]

lol i meant im not trying to start fights

[pilligapigger]

im trying to start fights but any american or nfl player who says hes slow should have a race with him fuck hes fast.

[3Spud3]

he is living in Tingha, playing for the Tingha Tigers. Working at Macintyre High

[3Spud3]

forgot to note, my mum is his BOSS

[bumpacius]

Magic moment of sporting brilliance.

Loved the commentary too. "Got a ROOOOOOM service bounce"

[thoughtred]

what a try

[HelloMarco]

Great try and celebration.

[goose1990]

Pure class

[itsgonnabefullon]

My one and only visit to Leichhardt Oval was on this day - I remember hugging random people in celebration for what seemed like hours

[stgeorgeillawarra24]

i was at that game in 2001

[ginzel11]

no one will forget the 99 try

ive been wanting to watch that this try for ages

[springpaul]

He is a freak - justice was only when he played for Australia. Dragons should never have let him go. Does anyone know where he is playing now? He is not on Hull's playing roster for 2007.

[NortherlyFighter]

Sadly retired after a chronic knee injury last year. I think he is in a partnership as a trainer near his home town Tingha. If you google "Nathan Blacklock", I'm sure it will give you an answer.

[springpaul]

Thank's for that - I'll never forget his 99 GF try.

[cvanh12]

@NortherlyFighter 

he is now playing for the aberdeen tigers in the NSW hunter valley

[dazzadidja]

@springpaul , what year did he play for Australia? i am sure he never played for Australia, maybe Prime ministers side, but thats not recognized as a true test side. just asking bruz, don't mean any harm, i love blacklock and i have checked the records and he never played for Australia, but if you when he did, i would love to know what year and where?

[dazzadidja]

@springpaul sorry bro U R rite,,State selectors claimed that Blacklock's omission was necessary due to his small size and possible deficiencies in defense, because he would have to mark up against larger wingers such as Wendell Sailor or Lote Tuqiri. Ironically the NSW Blues lost the series 2-1 and were humiliated in game 3, 40-14, where QLD wingers Lote Tuqiri and Wendell Sailor NSW wingers Adam MacDougall and Jamie Ainscough, Ainscough who was coincidentally Blacklock's Dragons wing partner
