What doesn't hold up with your reasoning is that the BBC choose the game that they want to televise not the RFL.

That was when they brought the rule in for chucking the ba away to slow the game down, we played 50 minutes with 12 men because of it and it barely gets thougt about anymore.

That still narks me to this day how we got hammered over that

Yeah, I think Jacko scored twice (certainly once) in the Lancs Cup FInal victory over Oldham. The one I remember is him going straight from dummy half down the right wing and scoring in the corner. Think he got MOM.

Still got that game on video. The only reason why I've still got a vhs player is because of Wire games from the 80's and 90's. Jacko did score twice and picked up the MOM but Greg Mackey and Mark Roskell ran the show despite John Cogger attempting to decapitate Roskell on several occassions.

That was it.
well that was that last of a dozen or so, 'Greg Mackey, unbeaten, top of the league, Lancashire Cup winning run' games then!!!!

We went into free fall after that.

It would be ace seeing that game again.

sure that was played at that famous dump knowsley road

The game is on that video site! type in bren23 (genius) and relive the days when second division sides had the likes of Mike Ford at half back

I cant remember it being played there??

Was it not at Hilton Park or Station Road?
