Warrington Wolves • Why the Wire?

Was it at Sankey Primary by any chance? This was also my first game, and I did the course with Kev Tamati. Not 100% but think it was against one of the Hull teams. Never really got into it after that as I was rubbish at rugby, and had no family supporting the Wire so it was a long time between games but ended up at the HJ circa 2007/8 with a free ticket off a mate and it kinda snowballed from there.
Quite a lot of Stains in my extended family so I could've turned to the dark side had I been given a shove earlier, but luckily I saw the light and I've been a season ticket holder for over 10 years now, wouldn't have it any other way. 2019 at Wembley was a special day
Tamati was the development officer for a bit wasn't he, so I imagine he went to a lot of primary schools.
He did a couple of training sessions at ours too (St Wilfrids Grappenhall) and he even set up a display of shirts he'd acquired and had a competition to win posters and other memorabilia if you could remember all the shirts and name them back to him - I stumbled on the last one, Cronulla (strange the things you remember) so didn't win anything.
That was my brief interest in rugby league for a while, to be honest we were all back on the field pretending to be Ian Rush or Bryan Robson the next day.
Got into RL massively a couple of years later though!
