Still a rugby league record for the biggest win! cup game.

just wondering if anyone on here actually went and memories???? before my time!

att 1,111

Yes, biggest cheer of the afternoon was when they scored, the whole crowd gave them a standing ovation.

To be honest it wasn't an exciting game cos i think we scored 26 tries and at least 5 or 6 of them were literally walk-thru's from the kick-off. and at least another 10 were more or less a break followed by 2 or 3 passes.
But those who were there were part of history being made, remember when we got past the previous record of 119 was quite exciting knowing what we were watching being achieved.

Also remember Greg Austin, who already had 9 tries having a walk in for his 10th, walked over the line but waited for Dean Hangar and passed for him to touchdown so as not to break Lionel Cooper's tries in a match record, for him to do that and lose having the record was a massive sporting thing to do and i guess showed the respect the players had for the past greats !!

God yeah I'd forgot about that Daz, everyone was wondering what on earth he was doing at first! Tbh i dont really remember much about the game -and i was sober. After the game I couldn't find my car as I'd forgotten where I'd parked!

I went and even took my camcorder but god knows where that footage ended up.

Yep. One of the more bizarre spectacles I've witnessed on a rugby field which included a couple of score-restart-catch-run-score tries

also had to laugh at the scoeboard when we went past 100, it stopped working for a while as it/or the operater couldnt work out how to put 3 digit numbers up lol

thats why greg austin has always been a favourite of mine

I was 4 at the time.... i think i was there. Is there anywhere we can get a copy from? Would love to see a DVD of this. This would be a nice stocking filler for a fiver RHP

it would be nice to see some old classics. I would love to see some old footage from previous challenge cup successes / important games in our history / team of all talents, although i dont know if such footage will exist.

yeah the scoreboard actually said 4-2 to Blackpool at one time if i remember rightly. was the source of much amusement.

There will be some limited footage coming soon to the Heritage project. It's phenominally expensive to buy.

some good stories !

greg austin, i though his 9 was a record? how would he have known about coopers 10, surely someone must of told him about it and said not to score another try!!!

was this the first round of the now challenge cup?

No it was the now defunct Regal Trophy 1st round, the Challenge cup has always been the Challenge cup.

not sure how he knew but he obviously did cos he just stopped dead and waited for Deano !
