3. I think you mean 1984, as that was the year Len Casey got a good hiding from Fred Ah Koui, got sent off and pouched the tj on his way to the early bath, getting a 6 month ban for being such an aris.

Have I missed the answer to this one? I'm intrigued to know the answer.

St George won 11 back to back Premierships from '56-'66. Richard Harris played Frank Machin (not Arthur) and Ken Traill of Bradford Northern was also in the film. Wigan went 43 games with a draw against St Helens, there was no draw with Hull KR. Len Casey was withdrawn from that tour for what the above poster said ('84) but I could swear Trevor Skerrett was pencilled in as captain and had to withdraw through injury and not Casey.

Frank is right - you get to my age and the memory starts to go!

As I recall Ken Traill played the coach. Still not sure who clobbered Harris in the flashback. Got the film on DVD might dig it out tomorrow.

Can't remember Trevor Skerrett ever being considered for the captaincy. As I remember Brian Noble captained in the end.

Just had a look at the DVD - I reckon the bloke who whacked Harris was Ken Roberts.

Skerrett was originally due to lead the tour but had to withdraw through injury. Casey was next in line but made an idiot of himself by giving the touch judge a beckhamesque petulant push.

My mistake about Casey. Was of course not 1979 and yes was suspended for pushing a touch judge after being sent off for fighting with Fred Au Koui. Never good to push an official but the guy was chuntering on at him after he was sent off. He desreved it.

This Sporting Life team was "City" not Wakefield. They just played their and used the fans and players in the game sequences.
Derek Turner hit him.....for real by all accounts.

GB Try Scorer in 1982 series was Steve Evans as mentioned above

1982 Para players were
Ray Price - Wakefield
Peter Sterling - Hull
Brett Kenny - Wigan

Well spotted! Meant to say Botica kicked 2 penalties and a drop goal, and Dwyer kicked 2 pens

Wigan set a Challenge Cup record when they went 43 successive matches unbeaten from 1988-96. Who was the only player to appear in all 43 ties?

shaun edwards?

Gay sub-culture, rugby club or both:
1. Bears
2. Stags
3. Roughyeds
4. Leathermen
5. Cougars

easy one - Which player has won the Challenge Cup in 4 different stadiums?

Well done.


Leon Pryce.

Good shout! I wasn't thinking of him actually, but you're spot on:

2000 Bulls v Leeds at Murrayfield
2003 Bulls v Leeds at Cardiff
2006 Saints v Huddersfield at Twickenham
2007/08 Saints v Catalans / Hull at New Wembley

I was thinking of someone else, but also considered Old Wembley and New Wembley as different stadiums.

Cunningham as well then?
1996 &1997 Wembley
2004 Cardiff
2006 Twickers
2007 New Wembley

Yeah, spot on, that's who I had in mind.

Who are the only team to have won the ITV Floodlight trophy?

Speaking of Floodlit Trophies...

Why was Bramley's victory in the 1973 Final of the BBC Floodlit Trophy something of a misnomer?

It was played during daylight hours.

Correct but why?

Was this the Captain Morgan trophy? If so, Warrington.

They were shy of shillings




Correct

Was it in the days of regular power cuts?

Catalancs answer is better than the real one - which is that it was played on a Wednesday afternoon to conserve electricity due to the miners strike.

Don't think that the Captain Morgan Trophy was the same as the ITV Floodlight Trophy. I remember Bradford Northern playing in the Captain Morgan's and they had no floodlights at the time (round about 1973). Think the ITV Floodlight Trophy was a one off thing well before that.

Correct in that it was Wire.
Warrington are the only team to have won the ITV Floodlight trophy in 1955/56 season, this is the only time the trophy was played.
