In this episode we're talking about iconic moments from the greatest rivalry in the game. The focus is England or, more often than not, Great Britain against the old enemy, Australia. Ahead of the first Ashes series in 22 years, the panel discuss and debate what are, undoubtedly, some of the most memorable moments in the history of rugby league. From the game changing 'Invincibles' and 'Unbeatables' of the 1980s, to the ankle tap on Kallum Watkins in 2017 which denied England the chance to draw level and perhaps go on and win the World Cup for the first time in 45 years.In between, two tries from Henderson Gill, the second of which was celebrated with "a bit of a boogie", as described by the Australian commentators, were the highlight in 1988 of Great Britain's first victory against the Aussies in a decade and their first win Down Under for 18 years.Two years later, Ricky Stuart dummied his way up the field before finding Mal Meninga in support for a memorable, match-winning score at Old Trafford in the 'greatest ever test' to level the series and ultimately set the platform for Australia to retain the Ashes.1992 was the last time a Great Britain team took on a full tour of Australasia, led by the legendary Malcolm Reilly, the highlight of the series for the tourists was undoubtedly the Second Test in a cold and wet Melbourne. An all-Wigan pack led GB to a 33-10 victory, equalling their biggest ever win against Australia.Other iconic Great Britain moments up for discussion include Jonathan Davies' sensational try at Wembley, Adrian Morley's red card after 12 seconds and captain Jamie Peacock taking on Willie Mason after he'd floored Stuart Fielden. While, for England, there's Sam Burgess' 'breakthrough' score in the 2009 Four Nations Final and the controversy that became known as 'Pinkygate' after Ryan Hall had a late try ruled out which could have knocked Australia out of the 2014 Four Nations tournament. A decision England coach Steve McNamara described as “disappointing!”All iconic in their own right, but which will come out on top?
The Man of Steel award goes right back to 1977 when David Ward of Leeds was the first recipient of a trophy which got its name because of a sponsor. Many great players have received the accolade as being the best in any particular season, but few have won it on more than one occasion.The versatile Ellery Hanley is the only one to have been voted Man of Steel three times. A Lance Todd Trophy and Golden Boot winner, he captained Great Britain between 1988 and 1992 and scored 189 tries in 202 appearances for Wigan while collecting those three awards.Andy Farrell, another Wigan legend, was a two-time winner whose exploits in league have perhaps been matched by his hugely successful career as a player and coach in union. St Helens' Paul Sculthorpe is the only player be honoured in back-to-back seasons and Sam Tomkins has the distinction of the longest gap between awards, having been first selected in 2012 while at Wigan and then again nine years later with Catalans Dragons.Other great names to have won the prize include Shaun Edwards, the most decorated player in rugby league history with 37 winners' medals to his name. Garry Schofield, the Leeds legend capped 46 times by Great Britain, who was the most expensive player in the world when moving from Hull in 1987. That fee was usurped by dual-code international captain, Jonathan Davies who initially spent four seasons with Widnes after leaving union for £230,000 in 1989, but was named Man of Steel in his first season with Warrington in 1994.Mighty prop, Jamie Peacock, won a record nine Super League Grand Finals from 11 appearances with Bradford Bulls and Leeds Rhinos, while James Roby who also has 11 Grand Finals to his name, all for St Helens, was then the youngest player to claim the prize back in 2007.Our top ten list concludes with his former team-mate, James Graham. A man with over 50 international appearances and the fourth different Saints player to win the award between 2005 and 2008. He actually lost six successive Grand Finals, including one in Australia, but returned to St Helens in 2020 to capture his second Super League Grand Final trophy, 14 years after his first.
The roots of this episode are in 1895 when the sport of rugby split in two and rugby league was born alongside its often distant relative! We're talking about the codebreakers, those who've crossed over and competed on both sides of the divide. Outside of our 40-year rule, but who must be mentioned, are Sir Billy Boston, Gus Risman and Clive Sullivan, three players immortalised as 'The Codebreakers' in a bronze statue in Cardiff Bay. All of them rugby league legends who started out playing union in the Welsh capital. Fellow countrymen who do make the list include Jonathan Davies. A World Club Challenge winner with Widnes and named Man of Steel at Warrington, who many feel his best years as a rugby player were in league. While Iestyn Harris made a big-money move from Leeds to Cardiff, before returning to Bradford where a Grand Final and World Club Challenge followed. Six Championships, four Challenge Cups and 45 caps for Great Britain and England earned Andy Farrell, at the age of 29, the switch to union with Saracens in a million-pound deal jointly funded by the RFU. Injury curtailed his playing career, but in turning to coaching he led Ireland to Six Nations success and the British & Irish Lions to victory down under. From that side of the world are contenders in the shape of Wendell Sailor, who not only played both codes, but also appeared on the Australian version of 'The Masked Singer'! Israel Folau, a somewhat controversial figure, actually competed professionally in three sports, union, league and Australian rules football. The late, great 'Inga The Winger', Vai'aiga Tuigamala, capped by the All Blacks and a multiple trophy winner with Wigan. While the 'offload king', Sonny Bill Williams, won the World Cup with the All Blacks in 2011 and 2015 and in-between returned to the NRL with Sydney Roosters winning a Premiership title. While nearer to home, huge names in the world of rugby in the form of 'Slammin' Sam Burgess, 'Ash the Splash' Chris Ashton and 'Billy Whizz', World Cup winner Jason Robinson, complete our top 10 contenders.
