Wakey
T: Griffin, Jeffries

If I remember correctly they scored both tries after we had declared!

I hope this fond memory cheers up some Londoners and maybe gives some Wakey fans a few cold shivers!

Love how the two players that are at Quins that scored that day are both injured.

Had a few cold shivers' that day mate, stood behind the sticks with 5 cans of that aussie stuff they use to sell in a plastic bucket full of ice. Thats the day Korki and O'neil were fighting on the bus.

Those were the days eh, hold on to the memories thats all you have to look forward to nowadays

Remember it well,think we were on a good run till then,Julian O,Niell,what a tw2t!!

Now play nicely Emma or it's the naughty step for You

Snowed on that occasion as well

It was four seasons in one day that day!

Was it that week we went into liquidation as well?

That drubbing will stick in my mind for a long time yet. Had some banter travelling down with the lads, loved doing a 360 of the Brentford ground and the boozers, got some Victoria Bitters and really looked forward to the game.

My enthusiasm soon faded as you guys strolled in tries, coupled with the weather.

we had won our first two games v bulls and wigan

remember it well although i remember sat jan 30th 2010 better

It was awful!!! A dismal drive back after a wretched Trinity was bulldozed by a London on fire. Sykes kicked 12 from 12 just to rub salt into the wounds. Champagne rugby vs stagnant bitter. The sudden snow made it even more unenjoyable!

Ah well, that's 2005. 18 - 10 in 2010

thought it was 36-4 at half time......with a symmetry in the second stanza...............Oh, those were the days...we spanked widnes a few weeks later as well IIRC.

No, definitely 36-0 at half time and I think we added a few more before they got their first points, and I believe they also scored the final try of the match.

I think we beat Leigh something like 70-12 and hit Widnes for 60+ twice. The second Widnes game was the one where Dorn intercepted deep in his own half and just as he was about to be reeled in around 20 metres from the line offloaded to the supporting Tookey to run in the try.

That was a funny old season. We won four of our first five with a team full of unheralded new signings from down under, several of whom turned out to be inspirational - McLinden, Dorn, Leuluai, Hopkins, Haumono - then lost seven on the spin including one of Leigh's few wins that season - but recovered to finish in the top six.

Happy days!! Last time we got a to the playoffs that season, haven't had as much as a sniff of them since! Not sure we'll be doing anything other than hanging out near the bottom of the SL this year.
