My favourite games we're the 71-10 demolition of Bradford in the cup semi, think it was 1992. Offiah got five if i remember correctly, and Gene Miles scored and took down the ref (Robin Whitfield?) over the line.

The other wasn't a real classic, and i cant remember the year, but it was towards the end at central park, Henry Paul's return against Wigan for Bradford. We won something like 8-12 in the rain. It was a great, tough game of rugby league.

Aaaaah the memories.

Great topic by the way.

I am a little younger but i would have to say the derby game when Vaiga rampaged the stains wing in the final min to win the match.For atmosphere when we had already won the division and played Bradford Northern in the final game at CP every time Henderson Gill took the ball the noise was deafening and you could see his pearly whites as he broke the line and went the length of the field to score.

But hey thats just me.

The 3-1 win over Reading to gain promotion to the Premier League has to be high on any list.

There have been so many haven't there and at the time they all seemed more special than any other but in more recent times the two that stand out for me were Murrayfield in 2002 and the Good Friday game against Saints when Stuart Raper was coach.
