if rads wouldn't have played that day we would have lost no doubt for me he saved 4 tries if not more simply amazing rads your a legend in wigan pal the best full back I have ever seen thankyou for your guts spirit and determination because of You this was one of the happiest days of my life beating st Helens in a challenge cup final you did wigan proud thanks pal.thanks also to lammy connoly faz dallas you were awesome aswell and the rest of the team.
Remember this well is it really ten years ago!!!! Who could ever forget Rads coming out of his sick bed to inspire Wigan to victory But looking back was the highlight of what was a very barren spell for Wigan when we had a very average team apart from Rads and Farrell. Didn't think at the time it would be another 8 years before we would win another major final or another 9 till we'd win the challange cup again.
@Grimmy4 Agree with everything you write, Radlinski had the game of his life but, I don't know if you know, he was in a hospital bed the day before with a septic foot?
Its interesting how for the Cunningham 'no try' for placing the ball on radlinski's knee that nowadays they wait forever to see if the ball eventually gets grounded.
Does anyone have the full match? I remember watching it live in Australia, all of the commentary team said that Rads wouldn't play because of his bad foot. Saints ran out first and Wigan were lead out by Rads I think every Saints player dropped their heads.
Cummings showing what a shit referee he was, total Wigan lover and should have had at least one Wigan player in the bin for slowing the PTB in that second half when Saints made a break never mind offside from the same PTB. Radlinski well deserving of the LT though.

stu w no wonder Kris Radlinski is named the Lance todd trophy winner for the challenge cup final's man of the match
A classic final this one.
Radlinski's tackles were belting, especially the one on Albert (BOOM!)

Ainscough tackle on Long & Interception absolutely key to Wigan victory.
That guy over the tanoid. 11 years on and he's still at it
If Ainscough had not played that day Wigan would have lost, great interception and critical tackle on Long.

@shazzerboy10 he popped his shoulder i think. Don't think he returned. Dave Furner went off as well, off memory.
St Helens should have made their kicker practice kicks, how did he miss the last conversion
Bet the taxi was rocking on the way home with the 5 wigan fans in it.
bitter stain loser.

bitter little sad shit stain.
Long nudged Radders off the ball just as he was about to put it down for a sure fire try; Cummings the 'Wigan lover' missed that one 🤣
