Wigan RL History - 1990-91 Season (Mission Impossible)

Click to View: 1989-1990 Season or 1991-1992 Season

The 1990-1991 title race went right down to the wire with Wigan clinching the trophy with a 20-8 last day victory at Leeds. A backlog of fixtures saw coach John Monie dub the title run-in "Mission Impossible" as the club faced 8 matches in an 18 day spell. During that run-in Wigan dropped just one point in a draw at Bradford and beat title rivals Widnes 26-6 in a crucial match at Central Park.
