Quote: Paul HHZ "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)'"
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.
