Quote: BuckleyStreetWire "I believe Wire-Wigan was the old big North-west rivalry in many of the early decades of RL, don't think Saints were on either club's radars back then as they were nobodies.'"
, the smellies
I disagree with that mate. I've been watching RL since 1973. In that time Wigan, Bradford, Huddersfield, Widnes and numerous other clubs including ourselves have all had spells in the doldrums, even relegated but I never once remember Saints having a bad season, It would be interesting to know the lowest finishing position over the last 40 years.
For me the smellies game has always been our greatest derby.
