So true. What size of crowd would it even get a safety certificate for these days? Sad times.

Wow, that's it. Awesome! Thank you. 

Just a shame there's no Ray French commentary. Or the co-commentator saying about the "fancy jig" as he dived over the line. Great try though.

I saw Offiah at Widnes run round the outside of the Wigan team when he was at Widnes, running from his right to the left. Going past I think Hampson who was as good and quick a fullback as any.  Just drew men from the midfield and just went past and over in the corner. An unbelievable try. Sick as a parrot but had to applaud it. 

My memory is that we should have got a penalty for something before it got going. C'est la vie.

Edit... PS, yes I think it's there at the end. Definitely a hard man to line up and nab.

The shoulder charge

Part time Referees

Lions/Kiwis/Kangaroo tours

The 5m rule

County of Origin/War of the Roses

A Teams

Top 8 Premiership Play Off ending with a GF 

Challenge Cup back to traditional weekend

Apart from that I’m happy with the game as it is

- Not sure we ever had it but I'd like to see the all Rugby League nations playing to the same laws - and ideally the same interpretation (the primary example for interpretation is the play the ball but I am starting to sound like a broken record on this one).

- The game to continue for minor injuries.  If a player is stood up and a trainer is wiping a bloody nose there is no reason why all the rest of the players and fans have to wait around.  If the injury is serious the trainer can alert the ref.

- and if I had a magic wand.... I would bring back Central Park, the Rugby League heart of Wigan.

No id bring them back and do them better. 

You can't bring them back if they never previously existed, as you have been told.

There was a British Coal 9s series back in the late 1980s IIRC. It was even televised on BBC Sportsnight

Ah yes, the heady days of the Isle of Man and hotels designed for hairy bikers. And seasickness.

Although in my case it was flying there in a Ford Transit on wings.
