| Or thane:I got back in to Rugby at the start of 2005, after a teen angst chasing girls and money phase. 2005 is one of my favourite seasons even though we didn't win anything. It was exciting, the games were much more tougher and aggressive then, Lots of Sunday Home games so the stadium was always full, with families etc, we went on a big winning run, Gleeson and Fa'afili scoring for fun, Grose at Fullback, Danny Lima off the bench, Briers, Natty Wood, Chris Bridge, Kohe-love, Logan Swan, Westwood, Leikvoll, Paul Wood. Love that team still  Even as a Wigan fan this post makes me nostalgic. Loads of quality players I enjoyed watching there!

Leeds away when we beat them 54-16 think it was 86 season I may be wrong..but what a joy to see Mark Roberts in full flow..if it's on you tube sit back enjoy then compare it to the modern game... I have been watching Wire since the early 1970s, and for me, that game at Leeds is the best performance from us that I have seen.

Do you have that over the '86 game vs Halifax who were league champions at the time I think.

Turns out we moved Nathan Wood to hooker, with Mark Gleeson dropping to the bench. Jon Clarke was playing loose forward at the time. We played 29 games that season and had four ever-presents: Jon Clarke, Henry Fa'afili, Brent Grose and (perhaps surprisingly) Danny Lima.

RL porn, that game.A mate of mine (and sporadic poster on here), had it on VHS. I remember a Yarkshire commentator saying it was one of the best team performances in ANY sport he'd ever seen....praise indeed. Think Bishop only converted about 3 of the tries as well or would have been a real cricket score. The Kangaroos were touring around then and we didn't get a game; that would have been some battle.

I may be old and out of touch but I genuinely believe the game was more exciting to watch back then. Some great skills and no shortage of biff and villains. Widnes 4 – 35 Warrington Saturday, 27th December, 1986 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD9z12CXSdY&ab_channel=WarringtonRugbyLeagueLegends

I THINK we showed Graham Appo the door, to accommodate Johns' overseas spot
