Gerrumonside ref Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 There’s not historically been many draws in RL. One of my favourite all time in the flesh games was Wigan vs St Helens in the Regal Trophy in the mid 90s that finished in an exciting draw. What’s your favourite ever draw involving your favourite team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiganermike Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 For Wigan a 22-22 draw at Headingley in 2011. We were well adrift and mounted a comeback to get within 2 points and then a Sam Tomkins penalty snatched a point right at the death. Memorable as due to the late comeback getting a point felt as good as a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 The 1995 World Cup semi final between Australia and New Zealand was a classic, ending in a 20-20 draw with Australia then winning 30-20 in extra time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remember too much about this game so will be like watching live (while knowing the score!). The two number 9's in that game - Andrew Johns and Henry Paul - would have made one hell of a half back pairing.

In a different sport but I remember in the football Euro Championships 2004 going into the last matchday of one group Sweden and Denmark knew that a 2-2 draw would send them both through and Italy out regardless of the result in Italy's last game (being played simultaneously). Some fans even had a banner stating "2-2 a victory for Scandinavia". To the surprise of all it ended in a 2-2 draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Ram Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Season 76-77 and Hull & Dewsbury going neck and neck for promotion - the original fixture at Crown Flatt was postponed and it was re-arranged for a midweek night and a thrilling 13-13 draw ensued in front of around 3 or 4,000 (always good to welcome the large support Hull took to away fixtures). Reporters said it was a marvellous game and both teams would have “no difficulty” in staying up in D1 next season.....in which Dews won only 2 fixtures all season (one satisfying against Leeds!).

Bleep1673 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Swinton & (New) Hunslet seem to draw a lot in the 80's, I fully expected the 1987 2nd division Premiership to end in a draw. (May 17, 1987, the day my life changed) Floodlight cup final 0-0, Salford v Warrington was a mud bath, if the TV weren't involved, it would've been called off.
