Once Gidley went off injured, the balance of the game changed.

Sandow was playing on with a severe knee injury and wouldn`t play another game until the Grand Final, when even then he still wasn`t ready and shouldn`t have played in the GF.

Danny Houghton has been dining out on that tackle for years, but Currie should still have scored regardless of the tackle. Fine margins, as you say, but it was Hull's day then, and hopefully it will be ours this time.

He was on the bench wasn't he? Brought on as a final roll of the dice.

Yes he came on to replace Dec Patton.

Unfortunately I think that if Wigan get even 2 points ahead, they will win. They are the business and know how to win these games when the scoreline is tight, they can shut up shop and defend their way home. Our final wins have virtually all been blow outs, except maybe 2009.

A grim final. We scored early in the first half then we looked like we would not score even if Wigan went home. Not too dissimilar to the 2016 final.

Anyone on here go to the 1990 final? The Wigan side then was formidable.

i dont think that/them will have any relevance on saturdays game

I was there in 1990.......didn't enjoy it very much.

Me too, I drove there and back in a day....seemed like a week!!

They definitely shouldn't do considering we only have 2 players from the last one let alone any others, so I understand the point for us, however Wigan are always the same, its unlikely they will stink the place out like Saints did.

I was there and remember Kevin Iro pushing Des Drummond, after Iro scored his try, but wishing he hadn`t after left Desi flattened Iro`s nose.

Don't you mean not too dissimilar to the 2018 one? Thought the one being referred to with Patton/Sandow WAS 2016.
