2005 vs Canterbury Bulldogs
Burrow helped Leeds become Champions of the World for the first time in 2005 and was one of the Rhinos' first half try scorers against Canterbury Bulldogs as he took a basketball pass from Marcus Bai to finish a great move.

2006 vs Bradford Bulls
A close contest against Bradford in April 2004 saw Burrow give Leeds the upper hand on home turf as he scampered away from Bulls defenders and ducked over the try line for a brilliant solo effort.
2007 vs Wigan Warriors
Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors fought out another epic clash at Headingley back in 2007 with the result going down to the final play of the game.
Burrow showed his magic to pull Leeds back into the clash as he somehow found a way to get through the Wigan line to mark 100 career tries.
2011 vs Warrington Wolves
Adding to the drama of the 2011 Super League semi final against Warrington, Burrow combined with Brent Webb to give Leeds a lead at the Halliwell Jones.
Coupled with Kevin Sinfield's penalty goal, the try proved important in helping Brian McDermott's side on their way to Super League glory.
2011 vs St Helens

2015 vs Hull KR
In the club's Treble year, Burrow made sure he was one of the try scorers in Leeds' 50 point win over Hull KR in the Challenge Cup Final.

2017 vs Catalans Dragons

2017 vs Warrington Wolves
In his final season at AMT Headingley, Burrow saved the best try until last in a 40-0 routing of Warrington in 2017. Breaking away in his trademark style, Burrow wasn't going to be stopped by the retreating Wolves defence as he finished a sensational try.
