that wasn't luke's debut match, he made his debut in the april before that, he was returning from a hand injury in that match.mike binder wrote:sts helens when Luke Robinson made his debut ,we were 22-0 down and went on to win with robinson scoring hat trick
that is also my favourite moment.
Saints are just wiganers who haven't fully evolved
RIP Mike Gregory, one of lifes real legends.

Gleeson bursting through Pryce on our 20...steps a chasing gardner, draws wellens on half way, gives it Ainscough...final hooter goes... Ainscough under the sticks, pat kicks the goal...
Final score: Wigan 22 - 21 Stains (they kicked a drop goal early on to make it 21-0 at half time, to mock us)
I can dream...alright?!

Was there watching that as well i think that was a cup match alsoMorph wrote:Yes, i remember that one, was only a young lad. It must have been the coldest match i've been to, the only other one that came close for coldness was a match verses Workington, when the pitch was freezing up at half time in front of your eyes.One better than that Leyther as a comeback
Hull v Wigan at the Boulevard in a cup match if my memory serves me right we losing i think 22 -0 and came back and won 23-22.There was a freezing wind coming off the North sea straight into the faces of the Wigan team first half .
Re: Best Wigan RL Moment?
Probably when we beat Bradford in the last second of the game at JJB, Faz still had to kick the goal to win.
Nilling Bradford at CP in the penultimate game there. Huge thunderstorm right over the ground, absolutely amazing atmosphere.
Beating Saints at Murrayfield in 2002
Tuigamala chipping over the winger whilst flying down the touchline at CP, picking the ball up one handed and simultaneously handing off the fullback and putting the ball down in the corner. I can't remember the game, I think it may have been against Australia.

Too young to remember Manly (i was somewhere there though) and was 5 months old when we played Hull in '85.
Martin offiah's run at Wembley against Leeds (hands on face) that was sheer magic may be my best moment.

Manly
Brisbane
Final eliminator at Leeds with Danny Tickle's DG to win it
When the kids beat Saints 22-20 on the GF after being behind
And of course the Bradford 'comeback complete' game.

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

I've never felt more like singing the Blues
When the Wiganers win and the Leythers lose.
