Quote ="Bilko"Wigan in 2003 when they were forced to play a full strength bar Keiron Cunningham Saints on Good Friday with three debutants on the bench and a desperate loan signing from Orrell Rugby Union on the wing.
We had 9 proper regulars out that day including Kris Radlinski, Brett Dallas, Jamie Ainscough, Julian O'Neill, Mick Cassidy, Andy Farrell, David Hodgson, Stephen Wild and Gareth Hock.
We played Jon Whittle on the wing loaned from Orrell and the bench included 17 year olds Dave Allen & Mark Roberts and an 18 year old Kevin Brown - all making their debuts.
Despite the absences we remarkably ended up [url=http://wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/index.php?page_id=626winning 24-12 after being 22-12 behind[/url.
No surprise however that the Original Poster didn't want to mention that day. icon_wink.gif Has anyone else ever had such a devastating amount of injuries but still won a massive match?'"
That game was even better than I remember. I didn't realise we were that good on the day that saints actually dropped ten points in the latter stages icon_wink.gif
