Some people were saying that was greatest game ever at H J on Saturday. After watching it back I don’t think so. Wire v Leeds 2013 when Grix sold that dummy to Hardaker as to be up there. Am sure others will have different opinions different choices I could also have stuck in the one against Wigan and the Micky Higham try. Emotions were running high Saturday night but that have been some great games here over the years. Difficult to say which is/was the actual best.

One of my all time favourites was actually a draw with Bradford - who were a top side at the time, and better than us - in the first season there. It was a few games in, and a lot of people were missing Wilderspool. The HJ finally started to feel like home that night as the place was bouncing.

Saturday night probably tops it on drama, but as an actual spectacle the rugby on show wasn't very special. In fact, the amount of holding down that Moore allowed just made it a close grind. I hope the grand final isn't reffed like that, but I suspect it will be, and we'll have to be prepared for it. Bizarre that he didn't penalise anyone for holding on, but then penalised Bateman for a perfectly legitimate play-the-ball...

The match against the Smellies, our true Derby, where Joel Monaghan went in at the corner to win in the last few seconds takes some beating. Agree though that last Saturday was special.

That Bateman penalty was absolute rubbish. He put the ball down cleanly and played it cleanly. Moore even waited about three seconds to blow his whistle. Far too many unmerited penalties like that have been given at play-the-balls this season. |

Leeds game when Andrew Johns played for me. There's never been a better atmosphere at the HJ than that night.

The Wire - It's Time To Believe
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will.
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with the twists and turns,
AS everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don't give up through the pace seems slow.
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worse,
that you must not quit.

This....
Johns was shaking so much at the beginning, he couldn't put the ball on the Tee to kick off. When he got the 2 pointer from the touchline after the first try, you just knew it was going to be a good day  |

Another that springs to mind was the 2004 win over Wigan 38-18 where Nathan Wood ran down the tunnel. classic.
