Stevo ‘this is something we don’t want in our game’ Fans ‘st helens, St. Helens, St. Helens, St. Helens, St. Helens’ I’d say the fans would love the biff back, I know I would.
To be honest Stevo, if the game is played with that intensity it will invaribly have a few unsavory moments. All part and parcel of the game. All mates again when the final whistle goes!
Wasn't nothing to do with mental health he was banned from the sport forever cause he was taking human-growth hormone tablets so he killed himself cause he couldn't play Rugby League
@@St.Helensbestteamintheworld rampant AAS/peptide use in RL back then (argue the game was more intense as a result) - lot of prohormones (nowt 'pro' whatsoever - just full on oral anabolics like superdrol) were available OTC and legal 20 years back. newton was fall guy for the puritanical piss sniffers of WADA/UKAD who'd developed a newly improved HGH test when he was banned.
have to agree when you see Faz and Scully go at it - normally tried to restore order on the pitch .... but the red mist had gone down on Faz's eyes by then he had completely and utterly lost it
You can hear what Scully, Jon Wilkin and Kevin Brown thought of that game on our UA-cam page now with a longer cut available exclusively on SuperLeague+ - superleagueplus.co.uk/
@lloydf who won rugger of the Ring dipshit??? Paul Sculthorpe hardest player in the Super League era ( Paul Sculthorpe was happy when he left Wanky and came to St.Helens he won things with us He didn't win things with Wanky tho 😊
@lloydf but you wouldn't know that cause you wasn't born in the Super League era and Terry Newton was a smackhead and he took his own life it wasn't taken from him
@lloydf Paul Sculthorpe came to St.Helens and won Challenge Cups World Club Challenges and Super League titles Lee Briers went to Wanky and won nothing btw how does it feel knowing Lee briers will always love St.Helens has he is a St.Helens fan and Lee briers is a St.Helens lad too and Knowsley Road was Lee briers church he was in and out of Knowsley Road open or closed he used to climb over the fence at night time going kicking goals playing in the stands playing hide and seek
It goes to show how ridiculous rule changes and refereeing, combined with an uncompetitive salary cap, have taken Super League to the verge of being semi professional. There’s no way the current dominant Saints team would have have dominated Super League in the noughties.
Does anyone have the tri nations 2004 clash between Great Britain an Australia We’re senior intercepts with 4 mins remaining for the win They were the glory days 🦁
Wigan are recognised as being the most famous club in the world have won more trophies more titles than any other club in the world that is fact , just go and look it up the glory days are now becoming a thing of the past I think this last few years , I watched them since billy Boston days I think the club has never been the same since bulldozing Central Park it’s a crime , a fantastic peace of history gone for good , saints and all the rest have always been up there with them but non has the history that Wigan has got , the rise of Wigan athletic has done untold damage but it’s great to have two good teams representing the town but it’s come at a cost , Unfortunately the greedy share holders and in particular the chairman Jack Robinson sold the ground to Tesco’s

So what happened? When and how did Superleague get so dull? Financial crash made the pound weaker against the Australian dollar so we didn't get the calibre of player. The NRL cap got bigger. The referees appointed a refs boss and they went full time and to justify this they became pedantic and instead of refereeing games they tried to orchestrate games having too much involvement and sterilised the game leading to teams not having dummy runners, banning the shoulder barge and no more fights, instead we now get the football group hug which just slows the game down. Sky when they first set up had rugby league as one of its flagship sports, since whoever has taken over in recent years has placed womens football, womens cricket above it and is starving us of funds and complaining of the spectacle. Also since Eddie and Stevo left the quality of commentary is poor apart from Brian Carney and a few guest presenters like Danny Mg, Wilkin Brown and Pryce. Teams are overcoached, its like watching 26 wrestling robots each week do the same moves in attack and the same structure in defence, there are no gaps or overlaps anymore and teams are too frightened to try something different other than 'the move' that everyone does on the 4th tackle and kicks for the corner.
All of the above plus the constant format and rule changes. I can see the game going part time in a few years because the standard is awful and all the fun has been taken out of it. The best bit of this season was when Barrie called out Karen Hobhouse or whatever her name is live on Sky for ruining the sport, which says a lot.
Least we know both in SL & NRL, it was the wanker commentators sooking about a bit of biff. Why I watched this clip & best part of Game 3, State of Origin.
Different game back then, no trying to milk a penalty or holding their heads or back of their necks, just solid blokes playing for peanuts compared to some sports but playing with pride. Would have been funny watching footballers in that kind of brawl though considering those high wages seem to make players fall down with no contact, maybe they'd be 22 players rolling about on the floor😂
I'm sure there's a sport in there somewhere trying to get out amongst all the thuggish brawls by the egoistic players. Unless it's a mixed sport that combines rugby with boxing. Has Tyson Fury ever played for St.Helens? 😁
Proper game, two proper clubs, hard as nails players, high intensity, old school stadium. Great stuff.
Now that’s a proper Rugby League game 🏉👍
What a game !
So many world class players mixed in with all time greats
The first decade of English Super League was rugby league we will never get to see again. Was good enough to rival the NRL
Crazy atmosphere !!!🤩🤩
Don't know anything about Rugby and only watch football religiously but this makes me want to go and start running around town tackling people at random what a match
Absolutely amazing game, both teams giving 💯 per cent. That was a true Derby game. Hard, fast, and furious. What a brilliant match 👏 👌
Loved watching Wigan and St Helens back then, proper Rugby league 🇮🇪
What a match! Grand Final intensity from a weekly fixture. Stellar 🏉.
That is how the game should be played. Great hand-shakes all round at the end. All in a days work as a Pro RL player back in the day.Massive!!
