Several outlets report that Nick Meaney scores no try in the match, but instead makes a decisive defensive play late in the contest between the Melbourne Storm and the Sydney Roosters. The coverage consistently describes the incident as “butchering” or “bombing” a “certain try,” indicating Meaney stops a likely scoring opportunity near the end of the game.
All three sources—Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and Brisbane Times—use the same central description of the moment, focusing on Meaney’s intervention during the Storm’s clash with the Roosters. While the provided excerpts do not include the match date, final score, or broader context such as what led to the attacking chance or how close the teams were in the standings, they agree on the defining event: Meaney’s late-game defensive action prevents what is characterized as a near-certain try.
The reports are otherwise limited in detail, but they concur that the play is notable for its timing and impact on the try-scoring outcome.
