Anyone criticising fans for not attending this game needs to give their head a wobble.

People can only afford to go to so many rugby league matches and, with potentially 3 playoff games and a Grand Final in the next month, tonight's fixture doesn't come too high up the list.

Oh, and it's on TV.

That i think is also a silly idea.

I think that emotion can boil over in these games, both on and off the pitch. I can't imagine it taking much to grate on someone if a mouthy person starts piping up when his/her team is winning. I wouldnt say there'd be out and out brawling going on but id expect the stewards to be looking a bit closer tonight.

There is out and out brawling just amongst Saints fans in big games without the need to add another club's fans.

It's one of those situations where 99.9% of people would handle it well and behave perfectly, but there is bound to be an exception to that and it's about how much of a mess they make.

In response to the original post, not enough! Its a derby, no excuses

There's a conflict of interest here, how can Sam insult the Saint's fans or Hock throw the ball without the possibility of upset to a Wigan fan. This unacceptable!
