| Just to throw a curve ball into the pot, how about Huddersfield away 2 years ago on Saturday teatime. We had no side and Aron Murphy making his debut I think - expected to take a paggering but we beat them!

| Loved Saints at Oakwell - on Sky, and Marchie one on one with Newlove ripped it out to score in the corner - the look on Newlove's face!
Also a big fan of the 14-6 (I think) win at Wigan - Henry Paul's first game, and some big ex rugby union convert playing for Wigan (who got his kicked as a welcome to the game of Kings). Made even sweeter by the supporters coach breaking down in Wigan - even more time to celebrate!

| mines got to be the 1st half last against Leeds last week, totally dominated a 3 times super league champion side, and the 2nd half at Thrum hall in the late 80's, we was 20-0 down or something like that and Billy Conway come on in second half and totally blew Halifax away and won 22-20
also a mention of the Michael Jackson try against Leeds, that was a great comeback

| Warrington away 1999. 22 - 4 down at HT and we won 36 - 22.
That was exceptional. Lots of other great games mentioned as well.

| It wasn't the fact that we beat Leeds on Sunday, it as the manner of it that did it for me. We took the game to them, defended well and were always in control. It's not often all 17 players perform to that standard. We've beat many big teams over the years, but Sunday was just so convincing.

| Beating Leeds 16 – 0 at Headingley was one of the most professional performances I’ve seen from a Wakefield team.
The play off final at the McAlpine Stadium against Featherstone, still takes some beating for me.
The relegation matches against Salford and Cas were great occasions, but far too nerve racking to enjoy.

| The thing for me was how professional Sunday's performance was. We made so few mistakes. As John said, the improvement from Harlequins and Catalans to get to that was awesome. Just hope we can keep it up.
Also just had the chance to see Moores "knock on" leading to Leeds' first try on Boots and All the Tries. There was definitely a Leeds hand in there and the ball went back towards our line. Not complaining though, what a great day, and 2 weeks to enjoy it!

| Ok, like I said before;
Cas at Millenium - particularly for Moore's try where, despite being the big prop he is, he ran the length of the field with the attacking play - Wigan at home later that season as well with Moore's length of the field try
Cas, home and away in the relegation season. Bulls at home first game of season - Betham was awesome in defense and Elimas tackle on Bai with a kick from the scrum for White to score
Wire away that season as well - Briers missing the winning conv in the last min
Cas away last year - 30 mins of sheer 0-0 tension, then a tap on their ten meant Judas (Scully) popped up a beautiful pass for Martin to dive over (the try made all the more enjoyable because before the tap I turned to my dad and told him the play) - after that we completely dominated
Leeds away - "death (Hudds home) and resurrestion of Jesus" weekend and the game when, if I remember rightly, Watene scored the winning try
Bulls away, first game of season when 10k Bulls fans walked out with 10 mins to go and then Wigan at home second game of season with Rooney's immense try
Hull play off game
Bulls at home - coming from 10/12 nil down in the first ten mins to win with the D March try
Saints at Oakwell
Fev in Div 1 final
Sheffield at Elland Rd to win the last Yorkshire Cup - also Fev away in Semis
Oldham away the season after stands out for me - Henry Paul brought us from well behind in a woeful performance to draw 20-20
Fev home last game of season in about '92/'93 when we got them relegated. I was only a sprog around then, so Wire at home was the first evening Sky match I had been to and we beat them 12-10
Salford away in CC season before last is a fave, but that was more for the entertainment value of the drunk and topless Salfordian goofing around on the roof of WMC next door

Without being pedantic was it not 17-0 or am I thinking of a different game? Them do or die relegation games and there are plenty of them take some beating for memories. But are we getting away from the title of thread. Sunday's Wakefield side would have beaten all them Wakefield teams or would they?

| Quote ="bloomers"Most enjoyable? I have to admit to having enjoyed sending Fev down when a combination of other results had to go against them. I'd guess it was c1989.
.'"
1 of my most fave games ever , the lady who use to do the tannoy (STEWARTS TO EXITS ) was told that under no circumstance was she to give out the latest scores if featherstone were losing , so she put radio leeds over the tannoy .... "And as it stands remarkably featherstone are at this moment relegated"
some of the fev army started to get out of hand but not as much as the fella who ran on the pitch that day the coppers chased him over the pitch and tackled him 10 meters short.
We saved Bradford , KR and another club whom i forget ....

'" I made my first away trip without the aid on the Neil Vause funbus on that day, got lost and made it in for half time, gutted when i walked in to see the score but what a second half, the atmosphere that day was electric, i have never heard a wakey crowd as loud as that day we where immense. The Henry Paul game at wigan i missed due to being skint and it was the 1st game i missed in about 3.5 years.
The away game at Cas (Do not fear it's only John Kear) the pressure on that game was immense, to win and win so well whilst having 2 men sent off was just unbelievable, any one of those games at the back end of the season could go down as greats due to the ammount of pressure we where under but the Cas away sticks out for the fact we nilled them on their own patch. That must really stick in there throats still now.
