With the 5,000th sport of Tremendous League on March 29, a few of Tremendous League’s gamers and coaches, previous and current, have taken a visit down reminiscence lane to select their highlights…
Liam Marshall (Wigan Warriors)
“The one which involves thoughts is Wigan’s 31-30 win away at Bradford within the play-offs. I believe it was 2007 or 2008 if I keep in mind rightly.
“The moment was Pat Richards’ drop goal to win it – I think it was his first ever career drop goal. I remember watching it at home, my brother was at the stadium, it was just absolute carnage. We were never expected to win. What a game and what a moment.”
Liam Farrell (Wigan Warriors)
“Mine actually goes to a Saints team. It is the famous ‘Wide to West’ try and Chris Joynt wins it. It sticks in the head, lots of offloads, and no one expects it to be a try at the end of it. It is a classic moment from Super League.”
Shaun Wane (Wigan Warriors and England head coach)
“When I think about my favourite moment, the one which stands out quite selfishly is 2010 and Wigan beating St Helens at Old Trafford quite convincingly. That final whistle, it is not a moment, but the feeling you have to get the win against St Helens, our arch rivals. To show we were no longer a semi-final team, that was fantastic, I loved it!”
Paul Wellens (St Helens head coach)
“My favorite Tremendous League second as a fan was again in 1996 watching St Helens profitable their first title. I used to be within the Well-liked Stand at Knowlesy Street and the expertise of that day is simply one thing I’ll always remember.
“Then as a player, I got the honour and privilege of captaining my hometown club to a Grand Final victory in 2014. Again, that is a memory I will not forget.”
Jonny Lomax (St Helens)
“As a fan, the Wide to West moment. I remember being at the scoreboard end when that try was being scored. Then, as a player the 2020 Grand Final. The dramatics of Jack Welsby scoring that try and being involved in that was quite special.”

We have a look again at Jack Welsby’s dramatic last-minute attempt to seal victory for St Helens in opposition to Wigan Warriors within the Grand Ultimate in 2020
“I think mine is the Jack Welsby try from the 2020, Grand Final. That year had been different and we played the Grand Final in Hull with no fans.
“That second particularly, you could not actually write it. To attain the profitable strive in opposition to Wigan in a Grand Ultimate after the ultimate buzzer and the drama of Tommy Makinson’s drop purpose. Additionally, having James Graham there, an incredible good friend of mine to complete his profession that evening was a really particular second.”

“My favourite Super League moment is ‘Wide to West’ called by Eddie and Stevo when Chris Joynt scored that last-minute try. It is a video that always comes up in my family group chat. My brothers and dad are with me on that one, they love that moment as well. It is a fond memory of mine growing up.”
James Harrison (Warrington Wolves)
“I think mine is the Good Friday scrap between Wigan and St Helens. I think Jon Wilkin is involved in it, Paul Sculthorpe, Andy Farrell. Pretty brutal and you don’t get that nowadays. Proper old school rugby league.”
Toby King (Warrington Wolves)
“My most memorable Super League moment, the one that sticks out in my mind, but the Grand Final with Ben Flower and Lance Hohaia. Just being there with how crazy it was and seeing that situation unfold, it was just like ‘oh my god’. A red card after minutes in a Super League Grand Final is just a mental moment.”
Paul Rowley (Salford Crimson Devils head coach)
“There are different emotions. You talk about the dreams and the dream is lifting a trophy for my hometown. Then coaching, just walking out at St Helens for a friendly with this group after the adversity we have been through is a proud moment in itself. I enjoyed the win to Toulouse away. It was a really satisfying win. It is a hard call but I think it is yet to come.”
Ryan Brierley (Salford Crimson Devils)
“I suppose for me, making my debut for Salford in Super League was pretty special. As a childhood fan, it was my dream to do that and I was fortunate enough to achieve that and nobody can take that away from me now.”

“However, my No 1 is the 2011 play-off sport in opposition to Warrington. We had completed fifth within the league and no one anticipated us to win. We had no proper to go to Warrington who had been very good all yr, scored over 1,000 factors themselves, and beat them 26-24.”
