[quote="littlerich":1czuya0c]Widnes will be glad to get away from Leigh. They've been regularly pumped, roasted and left in the alley-way by the lobbygobblers. Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.[/quote:1czuya0c]:1030.gif

Been racking my brain trying to pick my 5 and it's not easy;

Leigh v Whitehaven - 2004 NL GF
Leigh v Halifax - 2011 NRC Final
GB v Australia @ Wembley 1994 (GB won despite Shaun Edwards early red card)
GB v Australia @ JJB 2004
...
Struggling for my 5th choice, but I'd probably go for something involving Saints at their best. Possibly the 75-0 thrashing of Wigan (probably wouldn't tire of watching Wigan leaking nearly a point a minute).

Other notable mentions include;
Keighley away (2000 - comeback from 28-8 down to win)
Salford in CC (2001)
Near misses in the CC vs Wigan, Hull & Catalans
Alfie Langer vs Leigh in CC in 2001
Jamie Lyon vs Leigh in SL 2005
GB v Aus @ Huddersfield in 2001
Any Ashes game from 2003
Wales v Australia in WC in 2000
Saints v Bradford CC Finals in the 90's (x 2)
Saints v Bradford (Wide to West)

Agreed. I'll have to think on that one.

Thanks. There is a nine minute extract rlhererl for those who want to listen, the rest has been lost. Interesting that he used to do a separate commentary of the Cup Final for American audiences!

GB v Australia Wembley 1990
GB v Australia 3rd Test 1988
Hull FC v Hull KR - 42-6 game to ensure our SL safety
Hull KR v Queensland 1983
HUll KR V Widnes 2006 promotion to SL

Didn't start going til 82 so I didn't bother putting the challenge cup final against HUll FC in 1980

Some great shouts there mate, memories roused!

Jamie Lyon didn't play Leigh that day, he played against a debuting James Taylor, who decided to go round king hitting everyone. Also the song 'we only want one try' was born that day, and the Saints fas clapped us after. Good night that one!

Just a note that currently 6 of those fixtures couldn't happen with GB not playing Ashes tests and NL Grand Finals meaning nothing.

I'd also challenge every fan that was at the NZ v Tonga 1995 game not to have it in their top 5.

You're getting your games messed up Jonny. The "one try" game was at Knowsley Road when we got bounced 60-16, although we did win the second half as we were 46-0 down at half-time!

I would suspect that the Jamie Lyon performance that Paul referred to is when Saints beat us 27-20 at Hilton Park. Danny Halliwell scored a hat trick, but Lyon scored teo tries and three goals for Saints and generally was the difference between the sides.
