mate of mine was saying that you beat Saints 78-0 a few seasons back, can't remember if you did or not, did you, if so what year was it, if not what is your biggest winning margin against Saints

We beat them 70-0 in 2004, as for biggest winning margin, if its not that game in 2004 then good ole Tvoc's yer man to answer that question.

I remember that now, cheers BigRob, the memory getting a bit funny these days lol

I have it on DVD and watch it every now and again when I’m feeling down – it does wonders for the sole.

Didn't Wigan beat the Saints 75-0 the week after?

No but I know what you are getting confused by.

Why bring Hull into this?

IIRC, it was Ian Millward's Wigan who got beat by Leeds at Headingley (70-0) and then somehow they managed to go down to an even heavier defeat at Knowsley Road to St Helens (75-0) in the Challenge Cup the following game.

I think both were record Wigan defeats, their previous heaviest defeat (certainly to Leeds, not sure about the rest) being the 58-3 reversal they suffered at Headingley in 1972 when again IIRC Wigan were in the middle of a player's strike over the quality of the concessionary pies on offer at Central Park.

All from memory mind so it's a bit of a hit and hope.

That alzheimers is doing my head in mate

I had the 70-0 win v Saints on video and used to do the same! Until the girlfriend recorded over it with Hollyoaks. It may have been accident I don't know, personally I just think she wanted to hurt me.

i downloaded it from you tube to the ipod touch. still brings the good memories flooding back

Talking of videos - the 2004 grand final, did you ever find a spare copy?

Robbie Paul is selling his copy.

It's cheap as well. Classed as a second. Due to damage.

Looks like he dropped that as well.

I was looking for you mate and never got round to it but i'll get onto it this week and pm you!

Your memory is pretty good my friend. Jimmy Nulty was the Wigan try scorer back in 1972 and yes there were a few money issues at the time. Oh and I was there.

FWIW,,there was also a game that Leeds beat Saints 74-16 in 2001.IIRC it was a week after Saints had beaten Bradford in the Challenge Cup Final @ Twickenham,,,( i remember it well cos we got drenched)!!!!!..Saints scored first then got mullered...

Me too. Only a young 'un back then though. Jimmy Nulty was a nuggety scrum-half weren't he.

As your post points up it were in the days of the three point try. I wonder what the 58-3 =#FF0000would convert to in today's money:

Leeds 58: (=#FF000072)

Tries - Alan Smith (3), Les Dyl (2), Phil Cookson (2), Keith Hepworth (2), John Holmes, Syd Hynes, John Atkinson, Steve Pitchford, Ray Batten

Goals - Syd Hynes (icon_cool.gif

Wigan 3: (=#FF00004)

Try - Jimmy Nulty

You've let me down I was hoping that it would be more than 75 to Leeds(for obvious reasons)
