Futtocks Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 This cracker was uploaded earlier this evening, The SL channel will be uploading Wigan v Cronulla from the same year tomorrow evening. Here's the official blurb: "We’ve got a World Club Challenge double for you on this week’s #SLRewind as we step back to 2017 to watch Tony Smith’s Warrington Wolves take on Wayne Bennett’s Brisbane Broncos (Thursday 8:05pm) before we head to the DW Stadium on Friday night as Wigan Warriors go head-to-head with Cronulla Sharks for the right to be crowned World Champions (7:45pm). Watch both games via our Facebook or YouTube channels. ". Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

For a spilt second I thought what year did Warrington win the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastLondonMike Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Not sure if its been mentioned previously, but on Friday the Broncos posted the WCC game Vs Canberra on their youtube page. 9k (give or take) in attendance that night, myself included. Broncos had a pretty decent team back then. Newham Dockers - Champions 2013.

EastLondonMike Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 The Rugby League Cares Facebook page uploaded all of Wigans games from the 91/92 (i think) Sydney Nissan 7's. I've only ever seen a few games in highlights form, and the final which i think is also available on youtube, albeit in pretty poor quality. This upload however is pretty decent.

The picture quality's about the same as the better YouTube clips of this event, but I haven't seen a complete video of all the matches available online before - just highlights. Tons of other stuff on their video section too. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Futtocks Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Extended highlights of a match that got a bit tasty at times. Well, Les Boyd was playing, so it was inevitable. No quarter offered or taken, plus Sterlo versus the team he'd grace in a couple of years' time. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

17 stone giant Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I watched some of the British Coal Nines and I liked it, but I was even more impressed by the 1992 Sevens. I didn't think I'd like it that much (because I'm not a big fan of the RU Sevens), but I thought it was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastLondonMike Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Just watched a seasons highlights of Wigans 94-95 season. but well worth a watch if you're a Wigan fan, or RL fan in general. sone great tries from the likes of Offiah and Robinson. Also Henry Paul's first year at Wigan as well as the last for Botica, Betts and Clarke. some highlights include the likes of Tuigamala running riot (referred to by the commentator as "Via Twig-lamala", Sean Long making his Wigan debut, the game against St. Helens that featured the Cowie v Fogerty punch up, pretty much every team trying to physically injure Offiah, big crowds, old refs (holdsworth, Campbell, Smith) muddy pitches and much more. Oh and Andy Farrell singing at the challenge cup homecoming to the Central park crowd with Owen Farrell perched on his shoulders. Newham Dockers - Champions 2013.

My introduction to RL gave me the impression that GB beat Australia more often than not. The past 30 years has shown me how wrong I was. Still at 55 wins NU/GB/England - 59 wins Australia.

Wiltshire Warrior Dragon Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 128 minutes? A mere blink of the eye compared to ice hockey down the ages! In March, three years ago, a new record was set for a professional match when, in Norway, Storhamar eventually beat Sparta Warriors in a play-off match (which of course had to have a winner) by 2 goals to 1, the winning score coming after 217 minutes and 14 seconds, which is more than the length of three and a half 'normal' hockey matches! By contrast, the NHL record is a 'mere' 176 minutes, 30 seconds, which was the time it took for Detroit to score the only goal of the game against Montreal Maroons in a play-off match in March, 1936.
