The Vodafone Warriors’ Nathan Friend-inspired ‘miracle try’ in last season’s home win over Melbourne is one of 10 sporting highlights vying for the 2015 Radio Sport Sporting Moment of the Year accolade at the 53rd Halberg Awards.
Friend’s sensational acrobatic between-the-legs off load was the catalyst for one of the most stunning tries ever seen with Tuimoala Lolohea the ultimate beneficiary.
The back flip off load and try catapulted the Vodafone Warriors to a pulsating 28-14 win over the Storm. Footage of Friend's feat was a social media sensation, going viral around the world with the likes of Sports Illustrated, the Bleacher Reporter and the BBC just some of the international media organisations which picked it up.
