Quote: AJ Viking "Obviously didn't watch alot of rugby league in the 80's and early 90's? Widnes and Wigan had a fantastic rivalry for the big prizes, consistantly. Buy a Rothmans Yearbook and have a look.'"
interesting that......
Challenge cup finals in the 80's and 90's
Widnes v Wigan =two
Wire V Wigan = one
JPS/Regal trophy finals in the 80's and 90's
Widnes v Wigan =one
Wire V Wigan = two
Lancashire cup finals in the 80's and 90's
Widnes v Wigan =zero
Wire V Wigan = three
Premiership trophy finals in the 80's and 90's
Widnes v Wigan =zero
Wire V Wigan = one
add to that famous semi finals like Joe Lydons drop goal semi at Maine road
then the world War 3 Goodway v Cullen game
or Russell Smith cheating us out of a title in 94 game giving botica a shot at goal
or being the only side to beat them in the 1987 league campaign .....twice !
Paul Bishop taking the Vex in the Premiership semi final at central park dropping five drop goals.
Whether You like it or not and Certainly the pie eaters love to say its a nothing game History proves other wise. I appreciate you won two league titles in that era but it doesnt mean you had titanic battles with the Wigan club
having said that the second biggest game from those times was against Widnes.
I hope that tempo is rekindled and the chavs and retards (wirewonder)dont ruin it for the decent fans.
