Reading about the Canberra game on another thread, got me to thinking maybe it was our finest hour, but not our finest game.
My best, most exciting games were the Wigan games when we won the league and the fans were hanging off the rafters. I didn't get to the Canberra game but have watched it many times since and for me it doesn't compare.

I would agree that the Offiah hat-trick Wigan game in '89 was the best ever. The Canberra game was magnificent though especially as, for the first 15 minutes or so, we all assumed we were out of our depth. There were a couple of Premiership Finals in the sun that were superb as well, that used to be a great day out.

Was it 89? The game where we played at Wheldon Rd, think they were unbeaten & top of the League. We scored 4 tries in the first 20 minutes, inc a McKenzie cracker. Listened to the first half on the radio, the 2nd half was on BBC. Ray French asked Murphy "Who can stop this Widnes side? St Helens?" and he smugly replied "Possibility". He was right. Murphy also said about Koloto, as he rampaged in for another try "I think him, they'll make him the Lord Mayor of Widnes". Watched that game about 500 times on video! |

Didnt that have a quote about selling dummies in the corner shop too as Koloto sold the Cas defenders an outrageous one to walk in for a try with not a hand laid on him? |

Yeah - that's the one rayvon, and a great length of field try from Mckenzie after Grima burst through and combined with Wright |

When we battered Leeds 36-6 on their own patch in the ice and snow in 92 or 93 can't remember exactly. Left with 5 mins to go to beat the traffic and missed a Stuart Spruce try in the dying seconds. Had to watch it on scrumdown later  |
