What is your best game ever watched at the Halliwell Jones Stadium?
For me it would have to be Leeds when Andrew Johns was over, i think it was a sellout and the atmosphere was amazing, best i've witnessed at the HJ,what i'd give for that day again.
Anybody have any others?

I remember the 22-22 against Bradford on the Tuesday night in 2004 being brilliant.

Wow 6 years ago icon_eek.gif

I remember a small group of us in the west stand right in the middle of all the Bradford fans behind the sticks. Deacon I think went for a drop-goal near the end, was quite close could feel the Bulls about to start celebrating but it missed, cue us bouncing round like we had won, cracking game

The Johns debut.

The worst? For emotion, the next home game where we had no reply and a half injured Johns.

Gary Hulse, playing at full back for some bizarre reason. Usually got MOM though...

Stand out games for me - The Johns Game, Wigan with the Nat Wood hattrick (the place was really rocking that night!), Wigan this season & Cunningham's last second try - the game had everything that night, atmosphere, endeavour, skill, determination & sheer sheer drama and emotion at the end.

Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'. Let’s not forget resilience.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32137.jpg



The Leeds-Johns game. But I remember it more for the Nat Wood farewell speech at the end...........a really emotional night.

The Nat Wood hat-trick sticks out for me, when he scored his third and ran down the tunnel at the west stand and came out the other one icon_biggrin.gif

Warrington RLFC: The Wire, NOT Warrington Wolves FORZA WIRE:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_46584.jpg



The first two that sprang to mind for me when I read the title were the first two mentioned in the thread.

The Bradford game in 2004 was the first time the HJ really felt like home but the Johns game V Leeds has to be the highlight so far.

That's been eclipsed by three games away from the HJ in the same period of time though - Headingley in the 2006 play offs, then last season's semi and final for obvious reasons. Hull KR in the quarter probably would have too if I'd gone but I won't count a game I only watched on telly.

2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 - It's always our year.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_27604.jpg



As mentioned, Bradford 2004 was the first time the HJ felt like home. That game had it all and the place was bouncing. But Joeys first game in 05 against Leeds was a truly special night. Other great games with slightly more disappointing results were Saints 2005 and Wigan this year.

1. The very first game against Wakefield - 2 pint pots, a shiny new ground, a decent side and a victory.

2. The Johns debut - pure theatre start to finish

When we beat Wigan and Ben Westwood held Brett Dallas up over the line in the last minute, somehow. I think it was the game that Lima scored and went off spinning his discs to the South Stand.

Wigan game in 2006 where we won in last minute with a Briers penalty. I went home gave the wife some good loving and 9 months later my little daughter was born.
