There's so many especially from the 'Millward era'... Would say Wide to West shading 75-0. Sadly I was not at KR for either of those.
From the times that I've been there at the ground I would say either the 19-0 V Wigan in 2002 or one of the drop-goals V Warrington. Special mention for Paul Anderson conversion.

St Helens RLFC... THE most successful side of the SL era:

5 Super League titles
7 Challenge Cups
2 World Club Championships

=14 major trophies!

If I may, and I won't extract the urine and talk about Wigan wins.

Mine was a Saints v Wigan game and I think Saints actually won.

When a player was awarded a testimonial they were allowed a collection at the ground for ONE match, so this game must have been around 1967 or 68. It was Tommy Volls collection v Wigan. At half time all the players came out with buckets and the speccies threw coins (how would that go with h&s now) to the players for Volls collection.

The last player to leave the field after that collection was Billy Boston and the Saints crowd cheered him as if he as one of their own.

Fantastic memory, and one that will stay with me forever.

See, I knew there were some decent Saints fans. :BOW:

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

I'd have to go for a day in '96.

I started supporting in '93, so after we'd beaten Wigan inthe premiership, we went on a miserable run under Eric Hughes were we didn't win at all against them until SL started.

So either the 2nd game in, when andy northey went over to clinch a long awaited win over the old enemy or last game of the season (against wire) when Tommy scored and we knew the league trophy was coming our way and our days of being bridesmaid were really over.

My first day as a steward, the Andy Naughty Farrell game. I`d been assigned the Eddington end. That was a baptism by fire 8)

The Naughty from Widnes setting off a distress flare in the Eddington stand :CRAZY:

The streaker and the look on Jason Hoopers face as he was about to kick a penalty from the touchline(?) :?

The giant purple ball bouncing about in the pop side that landed near Darren Albert just before kick off. He saw the funny side and threw it back :thumb:

The International game when the scoreboard stuck and the crowd carried on counting 5... 5... 5... :lol:

My last day as a steward, the Warrington game just gone, and the conversation I had with Paul Sculthorpe. :BOW:

So many, not particularly favourite, but those stand out for me.

*****DO NOT BYPASS THE SWEAR FILTERS YOU'VE BEEN WARNED*****

Thank you,

Mr. Messy

41-6 for me.

Also very much enjoyed the cup game we won against the goons when Goulding got sent off, and Wide To West obviously.

Gotta be 'Wide to West' for me - now that was, to quote my big bro 'A try of orgasmic proportions' :DANCE: still sends a shiver down ya spine even after all this time, 75-0 comes a close second






Bradford counting down.......This is the last play, Long.......kicks it wide to Iro, Iro to Hall, Hall is trapped, back it goes to Hoppe, over the shoulder to Hall, there is Jonkers, here is Long, Long fancies it, Long fancies it, it's wide to West, wide to West, Dwayne West, inside to Joynt, Joynt, Joynt, Joynttttttttttttttttttttt, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, they've done it.

Cue - Matthew Elliott falling off his chair :D

Many highlights since 1975. To name a few :


41-6 against Wigan is probably my most memorable Saints victory.

Seeing us finally win the Championship (and so the double) against Warrington after what seemed a very long 20 year wait in 1996

Winning a school cup final playing for St Anselms circa 1981

Winning St Helens cup playing for Blackbrook against Thatto Heath in 1997

Honour of witnessing the Australian Kangaroo invincibles in 1982 & 1986 in their tour games against Saints.

Oddly the cross-code challenge against Sale sticks in my head, probably due to the banter Neil Holding was giving their fans at half time.

However Wide-to-West my fav moment by a country mile!

Another memory was Gray Viane's (please excuse spilling if its rong) two massive hits against Wigan, can't remember on whom they took place though.

41-6 - best game / atmosphere ever. 27th dec 1992 I think (rather than boxing day), when we wore the "Coors" jerseys. We had to win to keep in touch with Wigan at the top of the table. When we went 6-0 down, we thought here we go again... but instead, was one of the most complete performances by a Saints team. Abiding memory was Sonny Nickle racing towards the corner (bungalow/pop) for a brilliant try.

The Wire game in SL96 when we finally won the league.

I also fondly remember the game before - we played Sheffield, and beat them 68-2 I think. A complete master class of attacking rugby, with Prekkie scoring a brilliant counter attack try from a Goulding kick, and Sully scoring a few specials.

The 1997 CC game against the Goons, with Paul Newlove and Chris Joynt pointing at the score board, and going completely mental when Hunte intercepted.

Of more recent times, the game against Leeds in SL last year (the one with the biff) was a brilliant game, and one of the best atmospheres we've had on KR for a good while.

Last one for me - The Hull game in 2005. I had a bit of a bonus from work, so treated me, my Dad, 2 of my cousins, and my Uncle to a "package" in the Alan Prescott suite. Getting from the Suite to the Main stand, we walked out through the old tunnel, onto the pitch (well, the perimeter) just as Saints were finishing their warm up. Brilliant experience. Close game too - Cloughy made his debut, and was one of the players (with Scott Moore) to come into the restaurant afterwards to give an interview. The compare was Tony Barrow (funny bloke, and still massive) - turned out he knew my Dad and Uncle when they were kids in Thatto Heath!

The "Wide to West" try will go down in Rugby League, Super League & KR Folk law. If ever there's a close game which I'm either at or watching, I'll pipe up "It's wide to West" in hope to re-create a moment like that!






"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround."

An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.
