  1. Back in their early days I think that they rented the Brutus Stadium from the rugby union club. Anyone know if that was or still is the case?
  2. Many fond memories of the greatest but his try at Wembley 1989 stands out. As does his 63 tries for Wigan 1986- 1987 when he had to change positions mid season. I will never forget him outplaying the great B Kenny Odsal 1985.
  3. Believe it's his birthday today. Many happy returns to the GOAT.
  4. 38- 0 down at half time was the end of my interest in international RL between GB v Kangaroos. From memory I just got up and walked out absolutely gutted. Problem was I had to drive and 2 others wanted to stay on Elland Road for longer than I did.
  5. Seen Tara referee games for several years. She quite rightly takes no nonsense from anybody. Was absolutely gutted that she wasn't selected for England at Wigan Brick stadium during World Cup 2022. Had been looking forward to watching her play. England men played PNG after and I've never seen a better performance from GB/ England. My last visit there watching RL.
  6. Heart attack is deadly serious. Hope he makes a full recovery. It will take time.
  7. Was the Wigan v Warrington game broadcast on American TV? An earlier poster indicated that it was not.
  8. I've just done the same. Seen Barrow play in the past, been to the ground but not when a game was being played. Have a soft spot for them, for some reason.
  9. " Does he give this some pagoe ! " A Murphy Mesnes Road 1989, J Lydon drop goal.
  10. Anyone know what the attendance was please?
  11. Well done Goole . Didn't know they were only formed in September 2024?
  12. I don't wish to upset anyone but not that long ago I was an optimistic expansionist for TGG. 45 years since Fulham beat Wigan at Craven Park, the club has regressed IMHO. Have a tie in the original packet from 1980 if anyone is interested, DM me with an offer.
  13. That was, I think, because of the 9 / 11 terror attacks on the twin towers, the Aussies were reluctant to travel. Lindsay used his influence to sort out a 3 test tour. The administration of the game does seem to have gone backwards since that era.
