| I've said this many times before.
When I started watching us, in the last months of the 70's, the was NO rivalry. Zilch.
This continued throughout the 80's. The attendances for these games prove it. Nowhere near the amounts we got (or took to) Wigan, Widnes and Leigh.
The "rivalry" started after Stains started their winning run against us, and Eddie Hemmings invented a non existant hoodoo. It wasn't a hoodoo, they were just much better than us, at the time. That's sport.
The new "rivalry" took a new twist, when Wigan's form plummeted around 2005ish, and they needed a new foe. We fitted the bill. Oh how they enjoyed patting us on the head, while they picked up trophy after trophy.
Now, the worm has turned, and they're serial bokklers. Only 1 BIG trophy in 20odd attempts (and that, only because they struggled to get past 12 men, for 79 mins) , since 2008, and we like [ipiddling on their chips[/i in crucial matches, while "twerps" like LMS celebrate like they've got a ticket to The Last Supper, after winning a league game in June.
Let em stew. They're nowt.

Aye, same on both sides tbf. There’s Saints fans obsessed with Wire and vice versa. Just like you guys (rightly) did after the CC final there’ll be Saints fans who will have a month or two of fun if they win the Grand Final.

It's how it should be. Both sets of fans being obsessed with the other shows one thing, fear. Both sets of fans are scared of the other team being successful and it shows.
