I think that was the final that finished 5 - 4 to Wigan, and no tries were scored, although Saints had one disallowed. Botica kicked 3 penalties, and Bernard Dwyer kicked 2.

| Quote: Noel Cleal "OK pub questions I (think) I know of the top of my head.
8 What three things did Bradford get for Paul Newlove in 1995
Bernard Dwyer, Sonny Nickle and Paul Loughlin
9 Who are the current holders of the league cup (Regal Trophy) an which player, who last competed for the trophy last, did not recieve a medal for playing.
I think Wigan beat Saints in 1994 or 1995 at the MacAlpine Stadium in the last final, with Henry Paul being the difference on the day. No idea on the player who didn't get the medal.

Aah, forgot about Paul Loughlin. Great deal for both sides that one.
Also, I wouldn't normally correct spelling as it come across like you are a real PitA but unless you are being ironic in your footer it needs to be "Write Off" not right off. Just trying to help.

If it finished 5-4 how could Botica have kicked 3pens to Dwyers 2?

Richard Harris (Arthur Machin) played for Wakefield Trinity. Not sure who knocked him out but David Storey (who wrote the book) appeared in the film as a player so I will guess at him.

| Answers to my questions attempted.
2 Which rugby league player was ironically the first man pepper sprayed by west yorkshire police.
Catalancs, correct on both accounts. Barrie McDermott and it was GMP
5 Which team won 10 back to back sydney premierships
Not Souths, the run was between 56 and 66 (I had to look tat one up)
6 Which team ended Wigans famous winning run of games in the challenge cup.

7 Which former player is resonsible for foundering the heritage centre at the george hotel. Correct Mike Stephenson
8 What three things did Bradford get for Paul Newlove in 1995
Correct hot pot: Dwyer, Nickle and Loughlin. I guess it was 4 things as they also got £250k as well.
9 Who are the current holders of the league cup (Regal Trophy) an which player, who last competed for the trophy last, did not recieve a medal for playing.
Wigan: Scott Gibbs was sent off for using the elbow and was not awarded a losers medal.
10 Who was the last player (and possibly the only?) to be sent off in a Wembley Cup final and who got sin binned in the game game.
Correct Richie Eyres, I am probably wrong about the sin bin but I thought it was Goulding.
11. Name Chris Joynt three professional clubs
Correct Catalancs Oldham, Saints, Newcastle
12. Kevin Ward, Jamie Lyon have been champions with which club?
Correct Catalancs Manly
13. (And a non RL question to finish ) What character has been played in films by Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and Allan Baldwin

Question 3 is a corker, anyone fancy an educated guess. Its a real pub quiz question.

| Quote: PopTart "It isn't a rugby league player. Each England game at Wembley was Captained by a different person.
Think you must be including a GB game?'"
Nope, post above yours got it right. It was Denis Betts. He captained England in the RL World Cup final at Wembley in 1995.

Didn't we draw against Hull KR one year, forcing a replay which Wigan subsequently won?

| Quote: Meefy "Was one of them Darren Fleary?'"
He did play at Centre in a game didn't he. That would have been a good question.
I am trying to find some evidence for my answer as I have not got all the fact right in some of the others.
Looks like it was not the game at Warrington so it could have been the game at Leigh. There is surprising lack of information about the 2005 leigh season, I am sure I could find out more about human right violations in the Yugoslavian Cival War. One thing I did find was that it was the combination vs Bradford
So I will rephase this question as well...
"What was the centre combination for Leigh at Bradford in 2005 which has Warrington connotations"
