How on earth did Corey Oates score this try?

Broncos winger Corey Oates pushed his claims for representative honours by scoring a freakish try while being bundled into touch against Souths.

A mid-air Oates scored after doing his best Superman impersonation, planting the ball while somehow avoiding the sideline in a remarkable diving effort.

His try opened the floodgates for Brisbane, who went on to record a 30-8 victory despite leading by just six points before Oates' effort.

The 21-year-old now has seven tries in eight games this season and is well-and-truly in contention to make his debut for Australia and Queensland.
