There's only one derby in RL an that's the Hull FC vs KR derby. You have rivals and that's that, end of!

Friday 3rd August. Saints v Wire

Nah. You're wrong. There's loads more derbies. End of.

cas v wakey is bigger.

Saints away. Wigan as a close second.

New stadium, big crowd, Saints wanting to get back to winning ways against Warrington and then we beat them.

Think all eight games should be good, but I'm looking forward to Saints away the most out of them all.

Lord Derby gave his name to only two sporting events. The Horse race we know as 'The derby' and also 'Wigan v Saints'. They were the original sporting Derby games. Research it if you don't believe me.

Widnes..To see if we can beat the score we put on Swinton last season..

i've just googled "what is a derby match"

you know what came up?
OI LESS OF IT

hth

The reason we know it as such is because that's it's name, wally. (Or more correctly Derby Stakes)

I can see you making the inverted commas sign with your fingers as you typed that. What is this? Your second year of university now? You truly are a walking justification for tuition fees.

'Wigan v Saints' WTF.

So that's not it's name then? It's name is the Derby Stakes, and it is known as 'The Derby'... Wally.


How can someone make a sign with their fingers and type at the same time? Are they typing with their face or something?!

If you're going to try and be patronising, at least say something that makes sense and refrain from contradicting yourself in your first sentence!

I take it you got turned down from university then...

how can you get turned down from university!!!!!!!!!!!!!! down by maybe!

Because that's where the rejection comes 'from'. Both are fine.

Does it really matter?

Back on topic

Wigan, it just means more to me, growing up in a predominately pie area.

Widnes will only mean more after a few seasons when they figure out the good from the bad and recruit top notch which i'm sure they will with S'OC's money, that's at the very least 3 years away.

Salford, pah

Saints always love the games just not usually the result.

No, but I did get turned down a few times whilst at university.

Help, I dind't know whether to put while or whilst, please enlighten me.

Back on topic, it's got to be Widnes for me. It was the ''''''''Derby'''''''' games between us and them in the 80's that got me hooked on the sport. Passion from the fans that you don't see now, which I don't necessarily think is a bad thing, as it often went too far. Also looking forward to seeing the physio come on after every tackle to bandage the knees of the players.

I don't believe you and I have researched it. there are a number of theories about how it came about, none of which involve Wigan RL. It may also surprise you that there is also proof that the world is not round and you won't fall off the edge of it if you venture past Orrell.
