Great game. I was there (in the kippax).
Would love to see it on this new ESPN Classic Channel if it ever came on. |

 I've no sympathy for Cullen after his feigning injury until Andy Goodway had walked past him then getting up and hitting him from behind on New Years Day 1988. Not that I was old enough to attend but I've seen the DVD! |

very funny - in other words 'because the ref knew I was a dirty b@stard he presumed Id gone in with the knees, but on this occasion I actually hadnt!'

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

Subsequently, Rusty qdmitted it was the worst decisionof his refereeing career. Ah well.
PS
Bilko, Cullen's rejuvenation had a lot to do with Goodway standing on his hand as he ran past. |

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg |

I remember it very well. Was about 13 stood in one of the corners. There was an elderly wire fan near us with the worst language i've ever heard, you just didn't expect it from a 70 year old woman.
When lydon kicked it i had time to turn to my mum and say 'did he drop kick it?' she said i think so then i turned round to see it go over the sticks

Was behind him and just about to go for a pee, said to my mate "He`s gone for a drop". My mate looked at me as if I`d gone strange. Always glad my bladder managed to hold on that day.

Fair enough then I suppose. Rugby League was so much better in those days wasn't it. |
