[iGreat times if only we could repeat that form this season.[/i

Brings back some memories...

Great times.

need to show that to the players as a motivational tool, pref before each game...

every time i watch it on youtube (which is often!) i sit there demanding that the other two scores should also have been allowed....

Glad you've wrote this. I thought it was just me.

This day was undoubtedly the best of my life... No, seriously. And I've had some pretty amazing adventures, let me assure you. To do what we did that day after being removed from the top tier of RL under the new brand of Super League was just, just, awe-inspiring...

There was absolutely nothing wrong with either of those tries, had they stood we may have beaten them by 38 points to 16 instead of the 26. I reckon the officials also couldn't believe what they were witnessing either and wanted to make sure that it didn't look like a rout (which in fact it was in my opinion). I always grin inanely when I remember the day, as I did for a full week after the game ended. Happy days!

One of only 2 occasions when I have walked out of a sporting venue having completely lost my voice .... the other was Bayern v Utd 1999 in Barca.

However, the Salford v Wigan game holds the greatest memories for all the best David & Goliath type reasons. The Wigan team line up on the day was awesome from start to finish, and on paper we had absolutely no chance whatsoever. It just goes to show what can be achieved with some self belief.

Great memories indeed

The day I cried with emotion at a rugby match, I still have the full page from the Evening news which proclaims,"Super Salford into history" framed on the stairwall. I touch it every night on my way to my dreams thinking if only....

Still get goosebumps every time i watch this again. it was superb. Speaking to Scott Martin the other week and he said that he doesnt remember the night after the game due to all the drinks he had been bought. Here is hoping to it happening again Soon.

I'm pretty sure that Scott Martin also had a try disallowed - winning the race to a Blakeley kick over about 40 yards but being given offside. He was less offside than McGuire on Sunday.

One of the best occasions at the Willows in my lifetime.I still remember Steve Hampson standing shouting at the Wigan coaches at the end of the game. Note how the ref takes out connolly for Naylor's first try. The day was crowned for me when i went into the local newsagent who had a stack of Wigan posters he had just bought and was almost in tears at the prospect that they would never sell!

Great Days

Wouldn't it be great if we could have 'that' team down at the Willows one evening soon. Perhaps at half-time against Wigan. Would be cracking. For even if we were to get smashed by Wigan from here until eternity, we know and they know that there were 15 (I think) men in red, mere minnows who stood up against the might of the wonderful Wigan and duly burst the unburstable bubble of domination... Oh yes!

With first posts as good as this you'll do for me.
Welcome to the Turkey.

That's a fantastic idea!
