Proper game, two proper clubs, hard as nails players, high intensity, old school stadium. Great stuff.

Now that’s a proper Rugby League game 🏉👍

The first decade of English Super League was rugby league we will never get to see again. Was good enough to rival the NRL

What a game ! So many world class players mixed in with all time greats

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

Loved watching Wigan and St Helens back then, proper Rugby league 🇮🇪

Absolutely amazing game, both teams giving 💯 per cent. That was a true Derby game. Hard, fast, and furious. What a brilliant match 👏 👌

Crazy atmosphere !!!🤩🤩

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!!

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.

What a match! Grand Final intensity from a weekly fixture. Stellar 🏉.

R.i.p Terry newton one of my favourites ever

Just watching this makes you realise how far down hill SL has gone today.

Unreal passion for the shirt in this game. You look at the game now it really has gone soft

What a game! Got goose bumps watching the contest

When you play the right games at the right time of year for access to fans! Have a Rivals round on good friday, as it would bring in the crowds!

Stevo's finest hour on commentary during that brawl. Brilliant

What a game Proper punch up

Great rugby .Good fiery Lancashire Derby. Rugby today isn't a patch on this.

Probably the best game of rugby league I have ever seen. And I have seen at least 2.

Epic match !..I enjoyed that 👌

American football for men 💪🏼🇬🇧

That's the Irish head coach throwing hands😁, he was a fucking monster on the field

What a game !

Fucking loved this game. This was proper rugby league. That scrap was a thing of beauty. Must of watched this 100 times.

I can see where Owen Farrell gets his aggression from 😂😂

20 years today, SL was brilliant back then

Great game , great brawl

Why have we let the game get so much worse in less than 20 years? It's complete garbage today

I’m a saints fan from Cambridgeshire it’s so sad that Terry Newton is no longer with us. Mental health was unheard of back then

brillant rucks love it

Wellens St.Helens Legend

Is it just me who misses these type of gamessss

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

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.

This match was wicked but how dare long hit Danny Sculthorpe lol R.ip Terry Newton always will be my legend

We definitely made the right choice regarding which of the Sculthorpes to buy!

Love good Punch up

Had this happened this season (2022) the rfl would have a field day with the bannings

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 🦁

And you watch super league now… atmosphere better back then, quality better back then, games on its arse now.

This the game were Newton (RIP) smashes Longs Cheek Bone even though they were best friends off the field !

What a pass Danny sculthorpe

Sweet ol Rugby

Now if that was in the NRL, holy hell there would be about 7 Red Cards

2022?

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

If Rathgormack win the county final there will be some night in Maudie's Saturday night

Wot a great game of rugby league had everything. Unfortunately that passion has gone now in the game

Farrell going in after the saints winger had 2 on him what a fanny

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.

My Memories of Knowsley Road 1.Wide to West 2.Watching Steve Prescott little boy playing on the pitch with his dad and running 80 metres for a 5 year old and scoring a fantastic try ( RIP Steve Prescott always in our hearts Saints Legend ) 3.Beating wire 66-14 ( 1996 first Super League Champions ) 4.St.Helens 75-Wigan 0 5.Cunningham wonder tackle vs Wigan Warriors then we go on to score a try at the other end tommy Marytins wonder pass

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.

Nothing wrong with two left feet.

Ah Terry

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? 😁

typical cowardly attack from farrel

There's no passion in rugby league now....not like this

@SKY Sports Super League. There has GOT TO BE more comprehensive footage of that brawl. Typical dirty PIE-eaters!!!
