Champs fall to golden boy O'Brien in record opener
ICONIC boxing announcer Michael Buffer called Super League's opening night - but Leigh's Gareth O'Brien delivered a knockout punch on champions Wigan.
Remarkably, for the first time in Super League's 30-year history and since Workington and Whitehaven in December 1993 in the British game a match ended scoreless after 80 minutes.
But stand-off O'Brien stepped up to score a golden-point winner with a dramatic drop goal in front of a record opening Super League attendance of 21,748, at a venue where Leigh hadn't won since 1983.
