I saw a video tother day and first thing I saw was the start of the 2nd half of Lancs cup final v pies a long time ago ...Wigan kick off, the great Tommy Martyn catches the ball and runs 40+ yards to score - wow! I d settle for a Matty King similar try tomorrow. Now the Wire.

When we played them in 2001 after SKY moved the game thinking we wouldn't give them a contest, we were 12-0 early and went on to win.

I remember that being Cullen for going in with the knees in the tackle....

could be wrong though

Those were proper rugby matches.

Yes it was but he didn't. I think Smith then gave them an extra ten for dissent thus making it a certain score.

The win at Wilderspool with Cullen standing in for a couple of games as coach.

The worst decision of his career acording to Rusty. As for the further ten metres, it didn't really matter when Botica was kicking.

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/vaga ... 64647.html This was one of my first, and best memories of a Wire v Wigan game. Great atmosphere on a packed Fletcher Street end, and a game to match it. Despite our coach just resigning, a Vagana hatrick and Tony Tatupu's best performance in a Wire shirt led us to victory. Never realised John Duffy made his debut as a 16 year old in this game. Remember hiring the video of this game and watching it about 3 times the day after the match.
