What would a Cockney know about rugby league?:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_73558.jpeg



There’s two for me that will always stand out from recent history - Leeds and Widnes away from 2016. Probably for personal reasons more than any as it was the first games I think my son really ‘got it’.

The Leeds game when Hall went 80 yards to win it just felt like 2015 had been put to bed, finally a ball bounced our way and all on the scene of their fallen empire icon_smile.gif

Sadly the days of challenge cup more obscure away days seem to be behind us, with the seeding system. Would love a trip to one of the Cumbria clubs

for me it was the Wigan 6 – 12 Wakefield Trinity back in 2009 after the death of Adam, we wasn't expected to win and had injuries and a few unwell to play leaving us with a weaken side to play the one of the favorites for that season, it was a hard fought game nothing spectacular but the relief and ecstatic feeling after the game walking out was something special to savor add that with the welcoming and congratulated response from the wigan fans on that day

Probably my fave away game of all time. The scoreline flattered Cas to be fair.
Some brilliant Rugby on show from Trinity.

A stand out game for me was season 92-93 Wigan away in a mid week fixture. Wigan had signed Tuigamala and waited a few weeks to give him his debut, waiting for the Wakefield game thinking of a dream start. A packed Central Park and a Wakefield win 20 points to 13 with a Mike Forshaw try from an Andy Wilson 60 yard break and Henry Paul's 40 yard try in the dying seconds. It back fired on Wigan big style with Tuigamala looking like a fish out of water on the night.

Quote: LyndsayGill "I seem to remember that whilst Tadulala was on debut most of the tries came down the other side, and thinking the poor beggar must be frozen stiff. Also a pie and a tea was £1.10. Absolute bargain and they were both pretty decent. Yep they were but we chose the 'dine-in' option - due to the freezing conditions - sat on someone's cast-off sofa inside the metal shipping container icon_eek.gif icon_eek.gif

That's a pretty poor line up for Cas so not surprising really. Happy days.

That's the match I referred to in my earlier post, but it was 16th February 1994....I've now found a link to Wigan's season and if you scroll down it lists the Wigan players for every game that season...

Can't remember the year, but me and a few mates travelled on the supporters coach up to a game at Barrow.

Copious amounts of beer were drunk on the way up, and a lad near us needed to vomit. Grabbing the nearest carrier bag he could find, he chucked all over his remaining cans of beer. Oh, how we laughed.

I think we won the game.

On the return journey, said person simply rubbed the dried vomit off the cans with his sleeve, and carried on where he left off!

That was a memorable away day - does it count?

Must have been the season that Barrow were promoted to the old first division 1989 ?
It was along day !

Also remember going up to Carlisle for a cup game, where David Jones finally scored a try for us !

Your correct FIL it was the same game, I just added a few details to your post. Another memorable away game, 1988 Hull v Wakefield a Steve Ella master class. He broke away and kicked for Andy Mason to touch down, then ran 70 metres and beat half of the Hull side to score at the posts before Andy Kelly intercepted in the dying seconds to seal a 16 - 10 victory after trailing by 9 points. Andy's late winner was at the end where all the Wakefield fans were stood, brilliant.

Looking at the link I posted above it was 2 weeks before on 30th January and they beat us 24-16.

Not an away game as such, but putting 50 up against Cas at the Millenium Stadium in (I think) 2008. Loads of Wakey fans with the highlight being Richard Moore going the full length of the pitch to score in front of us.

Lovely curry and beer afterwards as well.

Still the only time I’ve seen us win at the Magic Weekend.

Away game by virtue that it was a cup semi at Headingley, but the Trinity v Saints match in 1979 was truly memorable; more so than the final anyway.
