As a Widnes supporter this is my all time favourite game against a fantastic Canberra team who played sublime rugby for 25 minutes . Thanks for posting this Aussie view and thanks for the game and for all the gracious sporting post match comments from such classy sportsmen . Widnes did deserve the win .To a man they played out of their skins that wonderful unforgettable night .
@ and they got a piggyback to 12-8 :) bottom line Canberra were a champion team regardless but unfortunately 89 will always have a bad taste in the mouth for me. Maybe the 2019 phantom six was karma? Who knows. I love football controversies!!
I'm a Souths fan,a referee and was living in Uk in 1989/90 so missed the 1989 GF until recently. I was gobsmacked at the call from Harrigan probably one of the worse Grand final calls I have ever seen.

Loving the sportsmanship of Tim Sheens. Star players in both teams - great game.
Raiders got a hiding i didnt see that coming, until I saw all the legends in Widnes. Great game cheers from NZ
What a side that was!
Thank you for posting the video
Darren Wright underestimated legend....
Man this Widnes team 6 absolutely shit on anything in current RL.
Widnes are simply the best this team for me are and will always be the best W.T.I.D
Surely if Davies had not went over it was a penalty try and easier kick?
Canberra always struggled to win without Bill Harrigan
Very true. That year he invented a penalty that didn't definitively exist in the rule book at the time to steal a grand final off a team.
