71-10 say no more

Agreed - plus the Challenge Cup match in 1985...Hanley outplayed Kenny, a great try scored by Gilly, but the Wigan fans rushing onto the pitch from behind the in-goal area prevented him from touching down between the sticks (Odsal was being redeveloped (honestly!) and we sat on chairs on the perimeter of the pitch with our feet on the advertising hoardings at the very spot where Gilly collected the ball to score) - happy days!

Cant remember the year but it was at the JJB. We were struggling for field position and Bradfords big pack had us contained in our own half with the scores tied. It looked like we would run out of steam and Bradford would go on to win until Adrian Lam kicked the ball into the corner early in the tackle count and Brett Dallas chased it,overtook Leon Pryce who had a good 10/15 metres on him,picked the ball up and dove over the line to put us ahead. We went on to win the game i think it may of been 2002. It was the year Mattty Johns was at halfback. Best bit was seeing Pryce's face go from arrogant to shame.

First right winger Brett Dallas, probably the fastest man in Super League, raced onto Lam's kick from halfway to beat Leon Pryce to the touchdown and Farrell's conversion broke the goals in a season record. http://www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... tlead.html

Aye, that would be the Semi Final wouldn't it when Offiah scored 5? I remember watching it in a caravan in Wales, I was only a toddler so my dad wouldn't allow me to certain games, I now presume that it would be so he could of had a few more drinks without me being there

A 7 year old Toddler?

It was just individual brilliance that won it us in the end and the speed that Dallas showed to gain 10/15M on Pryce and overtake him was breathtaking.

I remember millward saying at the end he sent a player on cant remember who it was but he came of with blood down his front and millward said " i couldn't see wether the player had been in a brawl or been for a hot dog"

Beating Bradford at C. P. 14-0 in the rain, we had a load of players missing including Farrell , Mark smith played lows off the park that day .

Play offs comeback - enough said.

Renouf making the break, Radders scoring, Farrell converting. Awesome scenes.

I think it may off been the bulls or maybe Leeds but at Central Park when it was a horrible night and the score line wasnt very big, Gary Connolly scored late on under the sticks by stealing the ball one on one?

10 -10 on a rainy wednesday night at Central Park is a memory that always sticks out for me.
