23 - 20 - 4
Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

| Quote: Revol "Which rivalry do you think is the most intense in Rugby League? I have a few candidates in mindRhinos vs. Bulls - Maybe the most famous rivalry in RL, although not as heated since Bradford have been going down the pan. Leeds and Bradford, as cities, hate each other beyond rugby.
Hull FC vs. Hull KR - Two teams from the same city, in the same league, go figure.'"

When wer'e talking about stadium sharing it's convenient for people to say Trinity and Cas are both from the same city and so they should share or even merge.
When wer'e talking about local derby's Wakey and Cas are suddenly from seperate parts of the world!

Whilst quality varies depending on the fortunes of the teams involved, the geography of our game suggests some awesome derbies. All intense and to everyone involved they are the most instense. I think the big one has been Leeds v Bradford, but with the Bulls fading fortunes I see Wigan v St's to be the big ticket this year.
Cas v Wakefield
Leeds v Bradford
Wigan v St's
Hull FC v Hull KR
Widnes v Warrington
Batley v Dewsbury
Whitehaven v Workington
Salford v Swinton
Sheffield v Doncaster
Rivalries though? Mmmm
Cas v Wigan 2006
Leigh v Widnes Not sure, just seem to hate each other!
Leeds v St's Players at the World Cup
Think these are more interesting for the reasons they occur!

Factually in sport there is only one true derby and that's Wigan-St Helens which was organised by the Earl of Derby. Dony know when, ages ago though!
Personally I hate Wigan as a Leyther, and the most violence i've ever seen in a game was at a Leigh East-Leigh Miners game.
If I had a choice of one to go to it would be the Hull derby, i've never had the fortune to see one and they are brutal ont' telly.
In oz id love to see North Queensland-Brisbane at the Dairyfarmers.

If you're a warrington fan your biggest rivalry is Wigan. It used to be St Helens but youve given up trying to beat us, so now its wigan out of jealousy.

The only close rivalry you have with Wigan is with the kids in our reserves.
