Quote: Cruncher "I doubt we'll ever see that standard again in our lifetime - not just at Wigan, but anywhere in British RL.

That team in which Offiah scored 10 tries against Leeds was a team of all-stars (many brought up through the ranks), which was superbly coached and which had been playing together as a cohesive unit for several years. Every part of that finely tuned machine knew exactly what all the other parts were doing, all the time.

It's no wonder we beat an awesome Brisbane side in its own back yard, a feat that seems beyond comprehension today.

Mythologists will claim that a fully pro team beat a semi-amateur team that Friday evening against Leeds. But Leeds went fully pro before Wigan did, and by that time - what year was it, 94? - most other top clubs were also fully pro.

A great memory, which now seems very distant.'"


Even more distant - Wasn't it 1992 and on a Sunday?

Can't remember for sure. I know it was way back then.

Quote: JLM23 "I think Keiron would yeah, But after that it's a bit of a struggle, I dont think I would put Sculthorpe before Hanley, even from what I remember. Maybe Lyon, But he was only here 2 seasons. Newlove is a possibility too, Most positions largely pick themselves though in my opinion. I think you'd have to have Radlinski, Robinson, Edwards, Farrell in somewhere too.'"



Gidley is now proving to be as good a buy as Lyon ( IMO ).

sunday seems a fair guess seeing that sunday was our day for playing home games.

Yeah I would say Matt has been just as good, infact a lot of the flicks/Tricks you see From Gidley, suggest maybe that this is the basics of where lyon picked up his style of play from.

Good lad. icon_lol.gif

Reminds me of the time (late 80's) a neighbour of mine had a christening on the morning of a match. All the blokes had been under instructions from the wives not to whinge that they were not allowed to go to the game later that day (Sunday 3pm), we all went to the church miserable as hell, knowing the match was only a few hours away and that we weren't going.
Afterwards at the party, everyone all sat around pigged off at about 2pm, when all of a sudden the babies mothers shouted...'Oh sod it, you miserable get's, you might as well go to the match'.
Well you've never seen ten grown men move so fast!! icon_lol.gif

Where does time go icon_eek.gif

I sat on the wall of the Popular Side for that match, right on the try line infront of Scoreboard. IIRC most of Offiah's tries came at that end of the ground icon_cool.gif
