Quote: Colly2 "London-Leeds at Aime Giral, July 2005 (?); I think it was a home game for us.

McLinden, Dorn, Leuluai controlling matters. Feleti Mateo cameoing for us too.

Never drank red wine at a match before or since.

Especially satisfying with my Leeds family present.'"


Great shout that, I recall that Leeds battered us in the first half and then we came back in style, think NBQ got a try or two? and again got very icon_biggrin.gifRUNK: icon_cheers.gif think there is a theme here.

Lots of matches spring to mind (special mention to Homer's pick of the win over Saints at GP...don't remember getting home! icon_biggrin.gifRUNK: and the win in the snow at Saints when IFL was escorted off the pitch by security icon_lol.gif ) but my personal fav is the 28-24 win over Leeds on 14th June 2008 at T'Stoop.

That win against Leeds was great for a lot of reasons....we had a severely weakened team with 6 or 7 Londoners playing, and Leeds had their usual suspects (and in front of Sky cameras).

We had some newbies with us and some RU mates, and it seemed like a good idea to have a champagne picnic in the car park k020.gif

I remember that Purdo walked past us as we were getting stuck in, and he told us that he'd done his hamstring and couldn't play (good reason for having another drink or two as we imagined we would have to dull the pain!).

What a great match it turned out to be...Will Sharp scored 2 tries, LMS got sin-binned and Henry Paul (phwoar) kicked 6 out of 6.

Even better was our young'uns beat Leeds, which was a great effort as we had a few regulars playing in the first team.

Great day and my mates got their mugs on Sky telly which pleased them!

Sad to think we have no players left from that day and Leeds have just the 7 icon_cry.gif

I'm cheating , 3 games, two at Brentford when I think we put 50 passed Widnes and Wakefield in consecutive home games and then Hull away on a Friday night when I think we won 4 - 2 playing an Aussie prop who had flown in that day

Quote: Halfdan of t'wide embrace "Whilst the above game was spectacularly good I'll stick to Broncos games and go for Broncos v Leeds at Griffin Park. Liam Botham nailing a very late, tricky conversion to grab us a rather unexpected point at a point in the season when we really needed it.'"

Brilliant game

torn between two - the on-the-road game at Edinburgh when we beat Bradford and Steelo ran his blood to water with something like 88 tackles - or at Headingley when his deciding try again Cas put us in the Final - grown men cried!!!

Quote: Rob from Erith "I remember that game - I'm sure I saw little tweeting birds and comedy stars circling round Marty's head as he left the pitch! Games like that are not good for my nerves!'"


Yep, I was 20 meters away when Marty jumped on a loose ball in the try zone. I remember it was Hull about 10 out last set and they grubbed a kick into the in goal area. 2 Hull players were running full sprint and when Marty got to it one of the Hull players could not stop his run in time and Marty copped a knee right on the temple whilst in full sprint mode.

I heard the thud from where I was and even the Hull doctor ran on to assist. It looked very serious and all the supporters in the West stand were slient as Marty laid on the deck motionless. Some (about 10) dumbd Hull supporters in the North stand ran down to pitchside to and shouted abuse to an unconcious Marty, disgraceful behavior from the minority! Relief for all when he got up. But then he insisted he was ok whilst wobbling and staggering around like the village drunk until both the Quins and Hull doctors, Robbie Purdham, Lee Hopkins, and the referee all ordered him off and told him his day was over.

Thats the type of player Marty was, in his eyes a serious head injury was still not enough to come off the pitch!! If we had more people like him now we would not be in the situation we are on the pitch at the moment.

Quote: Homer "Great shout that, I recall that Leeds battered us in the first half and then we came back in style, think NBQ got a try or two? and again got very I remember the Leeds fans doing a conga through the stands. While they were doing it we kept scoring until when they got round to us we were in front!

Anyone remember the group of Leeds fans dressed as Elvis's.

I think I will go for the Wigan away game mentioned by TallPaul although I think Friday 24th April 2009 at Headingley is a close second, the day we nearly nilled the Rhinos, only Rob Burrow scoring at the death saving them. Think that was also the famous evening of SteveLs half eaten kebab being finished of overnight!

31 Aug 1997 - The Stoop

London 28 Bradford 24

Emotional day at The Stoop, over 9000 there, Diana died in the morning (rumours game could be called off), Bradford top of the league and London in second place, Richard Branson on board (together with Offiah and Edwards on the pitch)and everything looking very positive.....

Yep, a crowd of 9,166 at this game. Leaving aside the dubious double header attendances I think our biggest home crowd in SL. Where did it all go wrong ?

Same as Dotti for me, Edinburgh was special also as Shaun Edwards had just rejoined us from the Bulls and it was his passion that night that drove the team. Also Tony Currie had a scottish wig/cap on that he kept taking off whenever Sky cameras were on him as the two idiots kept saying he was a miserable coach. Another was our 1st ever game at Brentford when we beat Leeds, it made the national news and the police saw Julian O'Neil kicking the winning goal and turned up at Oldham a few days later to arrest him as he had skipped the country when he had played for Widnes !

A second entry from me. The Valley v Halifax a long time ago (2001?)

A shocking season and we were in serious danger of relegation and potential financial oblivion. Fax turned up with us knowing a win would probably suffice. We were edging a nervy game with a handful of minutes to go. Fax broke down their right and we looked in real trouble. Suddenly John Timu stood up to be counted. Seconds later the Fax player and the ball were in row three of the stand. All 12 of our players mobbed John. The Fax players knew they were beaten. We saw time out comfortably and avoided relegation. A match memorable for one defining moment.

A second bite of the cherry for me would be the infamous 'frozen' Cup tie against Halifax on 10 February 1985, after which our full back, Queenslander George Bryant, was treated for frostbite after the game! His temper wasn't improved by ringing home in Mackay to find that it had been over 100 F there and they'd spent the day on the beach to try to avoid the heat.
