There was a Super League meeting in 2000 between Wigan and Bradford which Wigan nicked in the final few seconds after a spellbinder. Trailing 14-19, Kris Radlinski put the finishing touches on a superb move to get over with a try just a second or so after the clock hit 80:00, and Andy Farrell , cool as you like, converted a potentially tricky kick to take Wigan over the line 20-19.

Great, great match. There are others, but that one came to mind straight away.

The most comprehensive performance I have seen at international level was the recent RLWC Final.

I don't think I've ever a seen a more ruthless, error free performance when the stakes are so high. (even the All Blacks are never that perfect; different game I know... but they are my yardstick when it comes to ultimate performances on the field)

The execution of the tries (with the small in-goal areas) was astounding... if any of those kicks were a meter either side the scoreline might have been different. The defence was incredible as well.

In fact, going into that match I genuinely felt that NZ had the players and the game to cause the Roos problems.

On the international front it would have to be GB v Australia at Wembley 1994. GB with 12 men.

Game from the 90's, Hull KR 8 Hull FC 0, got s penalty in the 20th min, scored in the 80th, inbetween just draining.

In terms of atmosphere, either 97 derby at the Boulevard, or 07 derby at the KC (lost both), just fantastic.

International (George will have to help here), but a Great Britain game late 80's, Melbourne I think, absolutely stuffed the Aussies 33-12 if memory serves me.

There are far to many really to just pick one out, beating The all concurring Wigan 8-0, the 90 division 1 premiership final, quite a few games v Cas & Saints, last game at the old Craven Park, 06 NL1 grand final, 05 Northern rail cup final. Plus others.
Its why I love rugby league, most games have something in them that you remember or talk about.
Oh yeah and any derby win if course.

It was 1992 when we stuffed the Aussies in Melbourne.
I have been a fan all my life due to my late Dad. In that time on reflection i have seen very very few bad games.
For me Rugby League is TGG without a doubt.
