Quote: Saddened! "Nah, it's the Sheffield Cup final win over them. Salford's win was remarkable, I remember it well, turning on the TV and seeing the score with 7 minutes to go and not believing it could be true.
Looking at that clip, how good is it to see Salford's ground with people inside it? They wouldn't get a crowd like that these days for a Cup game against the Goons. Is it just me or does the standard of the play look far better in those days too? The depth of the Salford attack is impressive, inside balls are to people steaming onto the ball. There is none of that these days. Who were the marauding 6 and 7 in those clips?'"
I think that the salford win over wigoooon was by far the greatest cup upset , salford 1 division below the team who looked like were never gonna give this cup up turned the tables on the then invincibles . it started the end really and although IIRC wigan went on to claim the centenary league that signified the end of winter rugby the dominance had been halted and in came saints and bulls.
a cornerstone in the history of wigan
