And before anyone wise cracks, no I'm not talking Billie Elliot or Black Swan. For some reason I was sat enjoying my evening when my mind decided to remind me of the single worst play I've ever seen in a Wire shirt, that of Ryan Atkins' swan dive against Leeds. 10 points down with 10 mins to go, that would have put us a try away from levelling or even taking the lead. I still pish my pants whenever i watch the clip on yt. Worst thing I've ever seen in a Warrington shirt, as I've said.

What other boneheaded plays or moments do you think could rival this? Not necessarily from a Warrington player mind, we'll open this up to all of SL and prior. Let's hear 'em.

Who was the Salford player in 2004 who literally played the ball on the Salford try line and jon Wilshire literally picked it up and scored the try.

I can picture it, just not whom. But speaking of Salford, or against, didn't Danny Farrah or Nutley run into the post pads one game in the act of trying to score a try?

George Flanagan showboating for Bradford Bulls against Doncaster in April 2018 and failing to score is a giggle ... it's on YT.

I have a sketchy memory of Toa taking an interception at the Willows and being certain to score, knee’s it from his own hand.

It's one for the few older ones on here..back at wilderspool Phil ford thought he'd scored a try at the railway end pond life corner only to ground the ball over the dead ball line..long time ago I know so not sure who we played that Sunday afternoon

I remember one of our own Kevin Penny taking a tap restart on our 20m and immediately knocking on, there again, I think Martin Gleeson did a similar thing.
Also on Youtube, there's a game between two championship Yorkshire sides. A player on the team with a slender lead takes the ball as the hooter goes and instead of booting it out of play or taking the tackle, decides on a long kick up field, only for the opposition to catch it and go the length of the field to win the game.

Seen that one! I don't even think it was all that long ago either. Mortifying!

Shaun Ainscough. Ex Wigan winger. The most criminal thing I’ve ever seen on a rugby field. The hooter had gone and the game was won. All he had to do was kick it out or take the tackle.

Don't he play for Wigan..his name escapes me but when he left Wigan he went to Australia to play in there lower leagues and worked with me at city link up at Appleton..guessing here a bit but was his surname ainscough or Ashcroft

Sorry youve posted that as I was typing..really nice lad tho

Just rewatched it. Seems like it wasn't a kick upfield. he did try to kick it out but completely blew it.

Not sure if the fact we are playing Salford today is stirring the memories but one that came to mind was that Kidwell pass at Salford in 2002 that pretty much went straight along the ground, with a Salford player picking it up and running 60m to score. https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/ne ... zarre-try/

Didn’t Dale Cardoza do that once for us in front of the Fletch?

Chris Bridge trying a speculative chip over the top late into a game against Saints, which then gave them field position to go and win the game.

Sonny Bill Williams slipping over the dead ball line at the HJS in a world cup group match, and most of the crowd pishing themselves laughing.

New contender with Ratchford losing the ball behind their back with no one near.

i was going to post this as well.... remember seeing this at the time and being amazed.

Matautia refusing to pass to Thewlis when we had an overlap today was pretty infuriating.

especially as he then proceeded to almost throw the ball onto the floor. (again)

That Bridge moment was the first to come to mind after the Atkins one.

I have another one. Ritchie Mathers chasing back a kick against Wigan at the DW, fluffs it so badly he ends up doing some strange forward roll before ending up sliding along the grass on his face with his body in the air.

No one suggesting the Mike Peters "KICK IT!" moment from 2000?

has anyone said Duftys short dropout today, with 1 min left and with the oppo needing a drop goal to win yet?

Get back under your bridge,

There was 2.5 minutes left and a long drop out wouldn't have gone to half way and would have eaten up the clock and a drop out from an easier position. It was for me a risky play but was worth a go.

It was Duftys housing that got the possession back. Also I thought that Dufty was one of the few players that came away with any credit when players couldn't be d to get behind the line so he could run out the tap from the 20 was shameful.

Lots wrong today but that for me wasn't even the key/worst moment of that match let alone a contender for worst play ever.

Tex Evans "racing" down touchline with shorts round ankles for Salford? v us. Always a great mover!
