Despite some of the tonkings we have had over the years that game ranks as the most painful I've ever been to.

It was a lovely sunny day but by the start of the second half it was peeing it down. Summed up my mood at the end of the game!! icon_biggrin.gifEPRESSED:

I was ill that day and, given it was Bradford, had decided to not go. I changed my mind at the last minute and decided to go. Call it fate.

EDIT: Just watching the highlights of that game again and it's really accentuating how crazy it is that the commentators of last night's Sky game were talking about 2 potential reds for that little fight... And this Bradford game doesn't come close to the game at Central Park in 2001!

My choice of the best ever Wire comeback is our win at Langtree Park last September.

We were 14 - 6 down with 2 minutes to half time against a Saints side that had been to 5 consecutive Grand Finals & knew how to play & win the games that mattered.

On the 38th minute we had the ball in the Saints 20 metres line and Woody somehow got an off load out of a 3 man tackle, Monas M got the ball & passed it to His Royal Highness King Lee who passed on to Simon Grix who had ran the perfect line & went over the line carrying 2 Saints players. This try meant we went in only 14 - 12 down & the rest is Wire history.

What a night I had that night.

Quote: Rogues Gallery "Or Wigan V HKR last season from 26 - 0 down?'"


The Bradford one was much more spectacular imo. Seeing as we were massive underdogs and had only just scraped the playoffs.

One of my best nights as a Wigan fan.

What was the game a couple of years ago involving Wigan where their fans were posting at half time that the game was won and they could ease off in the second half? They finished up being very embarrassed and the rest of RL Fans had a field day. There's something in the back of my mind that says either Bradford or London.

Quote: lefty goldblatt "Awesome. The video's on youtube. Ridiculous commentary

My mind is also leaning to Wigan (h) 2001 on a Friday night
It was supposed to be on Sky, but we (from memory) were taking a few beatings in the previous weeks, so they changed it to Leeds v London
Wigan were 18-0 up in no time, then we battered them for 40 mins, then Wigan turned the screw, and I think they took the lead with only 5 mins to go, only for Lee Penny to score one of his special 40 yard tries, with about a minute to go. One of the most entertaining nights at Wilderspool ever.'"

Lefty. It was 12-0 after 8 minutes then we scored 26 points in about 12 minutes with the Pies hardly touching the ball. I can remember a miracle pass from David Kidwell to put Steve McCurrie over. I've still got the Video and watch it whenever I need cheering up.
It was one of my best nights at Wilderspool, I was in the sponsors lounge with several other members of RL Fans. We sponsored the match ball that night.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg

2010 away v Bradford. Wigan were 20 - 0 up at half time (it probably should have been 40) Bradford came back to win
22 - 20.

Widnes V Wigan 2012?

Wigan got the early lead, Widnes pulled it back, then Wigan pushed on in the 2nd half only for Widnes to pull it back once more then go on to win by a point??

Was that the game where we something like 32-10 down at HT and Alfie Langer was utterly imperious in the 2nd half?

I remember the Wire v Bradford game, and still go to Youtube to watch it every now and then.

But the match that sticks in my mind was Hull KR vs Wire in the BBC2 floodlight competition at Craven Park. Only the old farts like me will remember it because it was 1967. It was a game we were not expected to win, and we were on the back foot for much of the game. In the last Q Hull were attacking our line, but Jackie Melling intercepted and ran the whole length of the field to score. We won the game by a single point 13-12.

That was going to be my choice, we got to St Helens not long after 12 and it was the longest afternoon of my life, couldn't enjoy the ale at all. There was a horrible sense of inevitability and 'here we go again', then the rest as you write is history! It didn't sink in for me until we got back to the Chapel House in Sankey, sat down and said right what are we doing about grand final tickets? Brilliant.

Remember when RL was exciting and we could score from our own half and not just boot it down field? Jonathan Davies tries here. I miss these days.
