CLASSIC CLASH WIGAN WARRIORS In each edition of Blue and Amber this season, we’ve dug into the archives to highlight a memorable classic clash. For today’s opponents Wigan Warriors, we are rewinding the clock to 2004… On their way to Grand Final glory, the Rhinos faced a tough challenge at the start of the season when Wigan came to town in round three. Wigan took an early lead through a Danny Tickle penalty but Leeds hit back with two quick-fire tries. Jamie Jones- Buchanan firstly raced onto a grubber kick to collect ahead of Kris Radlinski and touch down, before Stephen Wild and Martin Aspinwall failed to deal with a cross-field kick that led to Danny McGuire touching down. Leeds’ ill-discipline allowed Wigan to cut the gap to six points through two more Tickle penalties, but Richard Mathers’ long ball allowed Chev Walker to free winger Francis Cummins on the right and Jones-Buchanan was in support for his second score. Danny Sculthorpe and Gareth Hock gave Kevin Brown enough space for the half back to squeeze over out wide to open the Warriors try count for the game, but Tony Smith’s Rhinos responded with a brilliant try. The ball changed hands seven times as Sinfield stepped away up the middle and Rob Burrow, Richard Mathers, Danny McGuire and Matt Diskin all handled before McGuire took the final pass for a magnificent second score. Penalty goals from Kevin Sinfield either side of the break made the Leeds lead 26-12 and the scoreline kept on rising as Walker benefitted from a break from Willie Poching to get over. Orr, Wild’s second try and Martin Aspinwall, kept Ian Millward’s side in the fight but Diskin’s spin and score out of dummy half sealed a memorable 36-24 win for the side in blue and amber. What happened next? A remarkable season for the Rhinos ended with them in the Grand Final lifting the Super League trophy for the first time. On the road to Old Trafford glory, they lifted the League Leaders’ Shield with 24 wins from 28 matches, whilst Wigan finished in fourth place. The two clubs met again in the post season in a straight shoot-out for a place in the Final, and the Rhinos won 40-12 on home soil.
