- Comeback against Warrington in the grand final

My biggest memories always seem to be the "Oh poop" moments...

Cowie's drop goal
Pongia's chip to the corner for the Carney try at Saints
Radlinski's try and the subsequent kick at home to Bradford
Radlinski's foot under the ball to stop (Cunningham?) scoring at Murrayfield.
Pat Richards emerging from the fog cloud to plonk the ball under the posts at Bradford away.

Some results are nice, but it's the small moments that I recall best.

Anyone remember the Brian Carney 2 tries v Leeds in a semi final eliminator? Awesome game.

Phil Bailey last minute winner v Leeds
Liam Farrell last minute winner v Saints
The team of kids who beat Saints circa 2003 I think?
Radlinski's performance 2002 challenge cup final.
Jason Robinson try 1998 in the final.
Last Derby at Knowsley Road. Paleaasina's try and the reaction of his team mates.
Andy Farrell playing with a broken nose and Mike Gregory appearing on the big screen (welling up as I type this now)
2006 when we beat Leeds away. Think Calderwood got 2 outrageous tries.
Amos Roberts' performance v Cas away when he moved to fullback. Devastated he had that injury.
The emergence of Sam Tomkins at fullback in away game against Harlequins 2011.
Brett Dallas' leaving his boots in the middle of the pitch.
Josh Charnley's try v Warrington 2011 quarter final of the cup ("it's a match winner, it's an absolute match winner from Josh Charnley)
Joel Tomkins try v Leeds Challenge Cup Final 2011. Does not get the hype it deserves.

I'll park it there. In terms of marketing the club should tap into this thread and make a promo video with fans talking about games like this.

I enjoyed the Feka try, it was all set to be a kick then the tap and go to crash over

He shouldn't have been on the pitch

Joe Lydon's DG at Maine Road was something to behold. That semi was so tight it was always going to take something special to break it open...

Re: Favourite Moment Following Wigan : Mon Oct 04, 2021 8:58 am  

For me a couple come to mind. The first would be the 2011 Cup Final. I went with my dad and the only cup final we had been to together before was 98. It was a great game, there was that outstanding try from Tomkins and we got the trophy against a really good Leeds side. The other was the 2017 World Club Challenge against Cronulla. I didn't get to any of Wigan's previous WCC matches and it was basically my bucket list thing. I travelled over 300 miles to get to Wigan for that one and, despite the appalling record of British clubs in the event over the decade or so leading up to it I was just super confident. I can't imagine it compared to Manly in 87 for atmosphere but it was huge for me to see Wigan lift that trophy in person.
