Name them,and then (a slightly more difficult task) name five Leeds fans who were at the game last night.

I'd actually go the opposite way and say that had it been a non-televised game the try would have been given. Without the potential for reviewing it with the VR I don't think any touch judge would have been confident enough to rule that out. I highly doubt the TJ said to Alibert that it was a def knock on but suggested reviewing it with the VR, if there's no VR then that gets given as a try IMO, even though it would have been wrong.

deluding myself how can a team that did not win super league be classed as the greatest ever team ! wigan of the late 80s early 90s were great with very little opposition

I think this is the best post I've ever read on RLFANS.
The "greatest team of the SL era" is a side that finished 2nd and got knocked out in the 5th round of the cup (by Div 1 salford!)
Do you have any other pearls of wisdom you can share with us??

If you go there, they'll even try and convince you in their tourist brochures that they 'invented' Marks & Spencers, but we all know different don't we ?

We most certainly do,and if they created Marks and Spencer's they certainkly have a poor excuse for a Marks and Spencer's store.I once got to Central park early and took a walk round the town centre,Pudsey and Morley was more impressive

Think that says more about your teams effort and heart in some of your other games rather than our worry! Not played well twice and got 3 points off you sign of a good side! Huddersfield didnt get close to us so that theory is out!
No moans with how you played you came and did what we have been doing to other teams (however it wasnt our chairman saying that wasnt how to play!)
Shame Danny missed with his drop goal attempt at the end would have been a crucial point for you!

Did you know that Marks and Spencer's first "proper" shop, as opposed to a market stall, was in Wigan?
It was in the Makinson's Arcade. It is a cafe now.

You haven't learned from your neighbours the other side of the lump over recent years, have you?
Where you finish on the ladder at the end of the regular season is an irrelevance. It's how you turn up in the playoffs that counts.
IMO, with the Saints monkey off their back these days, Warrington are the best side in the competition - particularly for one-off games like the playoffs.

I wasn't aware we'd adopted the Argentinian football system of deciding things based on a three year average of results? What Warrington have done in the playoffs since 1998 is irrelevant.
Even if we were using that as a yardstick, Warrington's record in one-off, lose and you're out games over the last couple of years in all competitions is up there with Leeds and Saints.
It's certainly better than Wigan's over the same period. How long was it before last year since you reached a major final?

So we are comparing One off massive cup games against the likes of Featherstone, Swinton, and Keighley to beating Wigan, Saints, Leeds and Huddersfield? Right you win hands down then!
But until last season Leeds fans kept informing us that its what you do in the play offs and we didnt have it in us!
As for last final think you know its 2003 but I thought it was all about the here and now not about looking into rugbys past for facts and figures or as that change now!! Even then you say use since the play offs as a yard stick but then only use last few years!!
