Rivals Round Rewind | St Helens v Wigan Warriors, 2004 Extended Highlights

Old EL classico Wigan Saints Derby there had it all 🏉👊🏻...was int corner too lucky lad...Happy Days they were👌🏻

This is when super league was great just average now

The way things are going, it will be touch rugby in a few years, these where great games, with players putting bodies on the line.
Not the same these days, invest more money up north too, you will never promote the game down south 😊

What a game

Proper game. Nothing wrong with the bit of biff that went on also.

Eeeeeee by gum ya can't beat a good ole dust up 😅😅

It's like a who's who of super league legends ,so glad i grew up in this era of rugby proper players proper tackles the odd scrap and proper oldskool stadiums with class atmospheres any of these two teams would win the super league now if they were in the competition.

This right here is a preview of 2025 vegas. 50 000 Drunk Pommys and Aussies chatting in unison

When superleague was better than nrl 🫡🫡🫡💯💯🏉

Don’t understand how brawls used to be reffed. Wilkin and newton sin binned for starting a scuffle, Farrell and sculthorpe are swinging haymakers but they get nothing. Madness

bring back the biff

Rugby League got Americanised and is poorer for it.

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? 😁

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

20 years today, SL was brilliant back then

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

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😂

Nothing wrong with two left feet.

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

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

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

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

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

What a pass Danny sculthorpe

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

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

How did Joan Wilkin get sin binned... he is as soft as shit.

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

What a game! Got goose bumps watching the contest

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

Is it just me who misses these type of gamessss

typical cowardly attack from farrel

2022?

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

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

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

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.

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.

Love good Punch up

Great game , great brawl

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

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

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

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

Epic match !..I enjoyed that 👌

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

Wellens St.Helens Legend

Sweet ol Rugby

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!
