39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

| Wigan v Saints
Leeds v Bradford - only because of the success in super league, only reason it is above Hull derby
Hull FC v Hull KR
Wigan v Leeds - two biggest clubs in the country, recent games have all been classics. Play-off game was amazing despite the loss
Saints v Leeds - 3 grand finals in a row speaks for itself.

| Think the giants biggest game is Warrington, seems to be always close and with the cc in last few seasons and the playoffs last season aswell! If both clubs are still top 4 material in few years time then it might make top 5 games

Hull v Hull KR isn't really big beyond it's own boundrays and neither are particulary big clubs,even being a RL hotbed. And Widnes v Warrington despite being a derby, is only a big game for the 'Vikings' fans thesedays.'"
Boll*cks.
It's Saints Wigan, and Wigan Leeds, Warrington Wigan, Warrington Saints and then Hull Hull KR, Bulllllllllssss Leeds was good, not as intense now.

Warrington/Wigan is now a bigger game than Saints/Wigan. Even pre-season Pie fans were saying on their board we were the biggest threat to their title.
St Helens are a spent force and won't do anything this season. Particulary while they are squatting in Widnes.
Huddersfield are an outside bet but it's nailed on to be a Wire/Wigan Grand Final this season. The rest can be dismissed.

I personally think any match NOT including Warrington is big. The biggest thing about them is their supporters misconception.

The saints wigan game sold old 3-4 days before the game.
The wigan v wire game only got 21k.
I would honestly put the Leigh game above Warrington if they were in super league.

Maybe they were pre-season, but once again the cream is rising to the top.
For me...
NSW v QL (biggest games in world rugby, highest standard anywhere, fact not opinion)
Wigan v Saints (Biggest game in world RL behind origin, opinion not fact)
Wigan v Wire
Bradford v Saints (A throw back to days gone-by maybe)
Leeds v Bradford (a very efficient regional airport)

NSW vs. Queensland origin is seen as a major selection trial for the Kangaroos – historically the winning origin team has dominated the test team
The Australian national team are neither the current 4 Nations or World Champions
How is it that the combined side from the highest standard anywhere then gets beat by another team? Or is it actually your opinion that origin is the highest standard anywhere and not actually fact?
I agree that throughout the 80’ and 90’s that origin was the highest standard rugby played but the Kiwi’s have shown now that test rugby is once again the highest standard and the Australians have been found wanting

Again, Boll*cks, Saints vs Wigan, was, is, and will be the Pies biggest game, they hate each other.

How can 2 matches in a ground that only holds about 13000 be considered big?
