Andy Gregory's passes to Mark Roberts were worth the admission money, alone

I've never seen the like of since, the line and pace of Roberts and the timing off the pass.

Leeds away when we beat them 54-16 think it was 86 season I may be wrong..but what a joy to see Mark Roberts in full flow..if it's on you tube sit back enjoy then compare it to the modern game...

RL porn, that game.A mate of mine (and sporadic poster on here), had it on VHS.
I remember a Yarkshire commentator saying it was one of the best team performances in ANY sport he'd ever seen....praise indeed.

Think Bishop only converted about 3 of the tries as well or would have been a real cricket score.

The Kangaroos were touring around then and we didn't get a game; that would have been some battle.

Yep 12 tries and 3 conversions!

sir adrian morley:

Another one for the oldies is the John player semi final at central park v Widnes ..we battered them.. remember johnno joining the line to score a memorable try ..sure it was off a Gary Sanderson pass..and we had the fun of Boyd and Sorensen..

I may be old and out of touch but I genuinely believe the game was more exciting to watch back then. Some great skills and no shortage of biff and villains.

Widnes 4 – 35 Warrington
Saturday, 27th December, 1986

The Speculator:

Or thane:

Also (how could i forget) Joey Johns in 2005 as well

I was just wondering who was left out of the side to accommodate Joey - so I checked! Turns out we moved Nathan Wood to hooker, with Mark Gleeson dropping to the bench. Jon Clarke was playing loose forward at the time. We played 29 games that season and had four ever-presents: Jon Clarke, Henry Fa'afili, Brent Grose and (perhaps surprisingly) Danny Lima.

Totally agree the game was far better back then...imagine Boyd and Sorensen if they played now..they'd miss 80% of the season due to lengthy bans
