Quote: Offside Monkey "To be fair, its which we can stomach more.
Wigan are our fiercest rival and no amount of "mutual respect" makes it easy to see at the top of their game. They're current champions and are probably favourites to retain the league. If they won the CC as well then they would have the makings of a new dynasty, which would be a miserable sight for Saints fans.
However
Wire fans are becoming increasing arrogant on the back of reletively little. Two challenge cups are nice to have, but no-one really considers it in the same breath as league champions. Having them not win any more trophies mean that we can keep them in their box a bit better. Wigan have won the league, so already have a pretty bulletproof argument about their superiority.
So, if these guys have to take home the trophies, I'd want Wire for the CC and Wigan for the League.
Good god, it's like Sophie's choice.'"
Good post.
Personally, id take Saints over Wire any day of the week, in any situation, and nearly every Wigan fan I know would these days, mainly because of your points above regarding there new born attitude.
