Offiah got a bad start/Oudenryn got a false start but by all accounts Offiah wasn't quite expecting it to be taken quite so seriously by the Aussies!

| That 2005 team was immense, peak Tony Smith and the best rugby I've seen them play. Because they never won anything that season it's definitely been lost to history

| Quote: The Biffs Back "It's also in mine DHM as I was stood bang inline with the incident on the old Eastern terrace'"
I was on that terrace as well that night, Gorley hit Roy 3 or 4 times, big Roy crouched down protecting himself and launched an upper cut from about a foot off the ground. Gorley was covered in blood and his legs had gone, I remember both being sent off big Roy ran past us up the slope into the old changing rooms with a daft grin on his face. It took 2 small Widnes trainers forever to get gorley off as he could not support himself. He got dogs abuse from the terrace.. reckon it was around sept 1983.
That’s how I remember it anyway,

| On the Fordy tackle, rumour has it that it wasn't old Phyllis that stopped Offiah from scoring, more when Martin's chin hit the floor at the the surprise of being caught and dug a wedge out of the turf. I was right behind it on the West Stand, looked magnificent two real speedsters in full flight. Be great to see that kind of speed and footrace these days instead of the biff barge kick to the wing stuff we have nowadays.

Offiah was a total freak of a player and he also read the game so well that he popped up on the field and in areas to score tries that i have never seen any other winger do in any era.
Defenders simply couldn't get anywhere near him due to both his speed and evasiveness and plenty of those weren't slow either.
I have found this video montage of Offiah in action and it's well worth a watch even though he never played for us

| Offiah was a natural athlete. He nailed us on many an occasion. The 10 in a game against us was probably the darkest days in our clubs history. Embarrassing.
Offiah in his day was special tho.

Lucky enough not to go, was away that weekend.
Instead decided to watch it in the caravan sites bar which was stuffed to the gills with Cas fans and a Bradford supporting bloke I know through work who couldn't believe his eyes.
Was an absolute inept performance that, the harder they tried the deeper they sank.
Think the majority of our section coach went back to the pub / never left it that day also.

| I was doing an afternoon/evening shift so couldn't go but managed to avoid the result so I could watch it 'live' when I got home. What a night that was.. .

No point in regrets. Rugby players like 'clichés'!

| just watched the game on ' RL Cares ' the Widnes one with Hughie's jaw been broken by the thug Moriarty and Grima and Izzard nearly ending up in the South Stand. What was very poignant was big Roy Powell interviewed in the dressing room about his unexplained collapse and he said he swallowed his tongue and then panicked and if I remember right he had a couple more unexplained ' episodes' before his tragic and untimely death.
With today's medical advances and head tests etc , something should have been picked up and maybe the lovely guy would still be with us.

absolutely devastating afternoon. we had battled past Warrington in previous round with a fighting draw over at wilderspool and beat them handily in the replay so went to central park with reasonable optimism only to see the white flag waved; as good as Wigan were we were abysmal.
