Training 2night

[homeandawayer]

So he was s-h, Edwards was s-o and Mather was on the wing....probably.

[DavidM]

We slugged it out with that team ... Wowwy , from the third tier !!

[GeordieTownie]

Tuigamala?

[Keith T]

Didn't a young Andy Farrell come on as substitute in that game as well?     The Regal Trophy and it was the second attempt to play it after it had been frozen off first time.

 

I still claim we were robbed that day of good result.   We got the score back to 12 - 18 and Wigan went for a drop goal.   They threw the ball back to Botica and every other Wigan player was in front of him.   His kick hit the posts and dropped down and as a Town player tried to catch the ball he was tackled by a Wigan player and he knocked on.   The ref gave a scrum instead of a penalty to Town and from the scrum they scored a try and won 24 - 12.

[DavidM]

Great cup days in that era ... Hull KR and Oldham in the challenge cup under Ray Ashton . What fantastic days they were . Kerr and Tuimavave different class .

[Keith T]

Tuigamala?

 

No he didn't sign for Wigan until late 1993.     I have the match on video but I no longer have a video player.   Does anyone know where I can get them put on to discs?

My memory is terrible and I was usually half cut back in the good old days. Not sure why these are the bits I remember/ dreamt but is this the match when Pickering bossed Skerrett and absolutely nailed him in one tackle who was claimed to be one of the best props around and Martin Wallace caught I think Offiah running down the wing in front of the grandstand?

I had loads of videos keith and then out went the video player ... I contacted Peter and he gave me the season videos 92-3 , 93-4 and 94-5 on DVD , which are fantastic and I still watch . Not sure about single games but he still had the season review videos to copy

I was more under the influence than I thought lol.

[shaun mc]

Wasn't Jason Robinson playing scrum-half.....??

The game showed he wasn't going to make a top class half back and shortly after he was out on the wing to do his magic
