| Quote: kianush "Was that the one when HKR thrashed Hull & the scoreboard went on the blink for some reason? I remember that game - it was a superb display of rugby from HKR & a great way for them to confirm their SL status. But if I remember right the poignancy of the Cooke factor was that it was his first game back at the KC Stadium after signing for Rovers rather than his first game (or derby) for HKR.'"
yep thats the game. |

.........simple, the one that involves your team.
Comparing derby games is pointless, every fans derby game is the best in their eyes and that’s how it should be.'"

| Quote: ABP' "I could get on my soap box and praise the Wigan-Saints derby to the same degree.
But after 30 years of consistantly playing each other upto 4 or 5 times a year in big games, the derby isn't as important to some supporters who are less die-hard than others. Eventually, due to the size of the sport, this will happen to the Hull derby too.'"
some saints fans were saying the game against warrington was more of a game than the derby with the squads wire had in the past 3 years.
i just think the wigan / saints derby has lost a little of its lustre.
yes the atmos. was great |

because Wigan have been garbage for 5 years.
Last years games were good though.
Hopefully a return to form on this one this year.
Us and Saints have had absolute crackers over the last couple of years, the cup game where Penny scored 'that try' was one of the best games in my recent memory along with a few more at Knowsley Road. I look forward to saints games the most but the feeling isnt the other way I don't think

Wigan v Saints has been the best derby historically. Going from last years games I think the Wigan saints games were the most entertaining.

Aside from being a wigan fan, what parameters are you using to define "best derby historically"? |

One is the most succesful club in history, the other is the modern day giant.
They have competed in some of the most important games together.
Pretty much every game is a great watch.
Great crowds.
Most of the greatest players of all time have played in the derby. |

You talking about the reserves?
Other than 09 pretty much every game since about 4 years ago has been a whitewash

Thats why I said pretty much. 2005 to 2008 was pretty poor. |
