Well there's clearly been a bit of "edge" between the 2 teams that has spilled over several times, I would think that dates back to the infamous Rugby Gods game where a couple of Wigan players (Riddell mainly from what I remember) were out of order. But right or wrong this happens in sport between top teams, the games between Man. Utd & Arsenal used to be very similar (pizzagate etc).
But to say (as some have) that this is symptomatic of some rotten culture at Wigan is just daft, the post game quotes from Wane & Lockers were full of respect for Leeds and their players. I've also heard plenty of quotes from Leeds players complimenting Wigan over the past few years.

wasn't it an incident on the western terrace

Yep, saw Owen Farrell doing the Joining Jack sign in the Wales game but don't remember it being mentioned which is a shame. The Joining Jack charity has been a credit not just to Wigan but the whole of RL, same with the Steve Prescott foundation.
I'm not here to try and make Wigan out as angels, just refuting a minority who are posting nonsense.
In fairness 90% of the Leeds posters on here have said its nonsense or just said they don't care about Wigan, which is fair enough!

the charity was mentioned in the context of the time spent with the england camp

the only thing our council rep said right at the homecoming was praising the leeds foundation

It was mentioned in the commentary. Not sure which game but I certainly heard it

It's nonsense.

Here's the thing. We're a little bit obsessed by you. No doubt about it, however much we deny it. The "older" generation grew up watching us chase you in the 80s and 90s and go bust doing so. You were the standard bearers for those two decades. Now it's bee largely us this last decade and I think we like to puff out our chests in your direction.

I don't like some of your team's tactics but that is a different discussion all together. You're the bad guys around here and that's great but a few of our posters seem to be taking t a little bit far. There appears to be a nice little rivalry building up and, again, that's great. Nothing wrong with a little bit of spice. I hope it continues.

Agree. Also they are one of the top teams. During the 3 in a row years there was extra spice with saints. All top teams who are competing have a bit of added niggle

I still watch the highlights of that infamous '09 Saints Leeds game every so often, no shortage of spice or niggle there!
There'll be some big games between Leeds, Wigan and Saints (and maybe Wire!) over the next couple of years, I can't wait!

I like to puff my chest out in wigan's direction.

Erry day.

On Saturday I watched all the grand final highlights from 04-12. The saints ones which are part of 3 in a row. There was some spice in those games for sure

There might be a bit of that, but I'll tell you something. There's some of that going on in the other direction too. They absolutely can't stand that fact that we are now the bigger, more successful, better supported club. The bile enamating from that other forum is an example. If you look on social media whenever Leeds are playing, always the most vociferous against Leeds or our players are the Wigan fans.

There's a difference between a bit of niggle, and been total s*** houses. We had Bailey as the class clown wind up merchant. They've got Bateman, McIlorum, J.Tomkins, O'Loughlin to name a few. All familiar with cheap shots, head high tackles, laying on the man. It's all coached into them. If you get in Wigan's faces and show you won't be bullied, they don't have an answer

Yep, no doubt there's an element of Wigan fans that still live in the 90s (cue 'looks like the 1890s' joke), i'd hope most would recognise what a mess we were not so long ago and realise we're not doing too bad to be competing among the top teams.
