For someone who's trying to convince us his team is superior, he doesn't sound very secure.

To be honest, I never looked forward to playing saints, they always won routinely, it was a game I just always expected to lose. When at best we were fighting to scrape in to the last spot of the playoffs every year I always wanted us to play the saints style over Wigans set moves style rugby though. They're a great club with a few fans who are idiots, same as us. Some of the rubbish that comes from saints fans on this page is embarrassing, then again some wire fans do similar on their forum.

I'm glad we beat them in the final, really, really glad, because it puts some of that hoodoo to bed. Given the reaction from the saints club and fans it seems they got far too used to their routine wins against us and don't like the fact that we have joined the party.

Don't give a stuff weren't even born ...but I have seen little wire beat you lot twice in finals...

I started watching in 74 and Saints were not even on my radar. Wigan for me were THE enemy, then Widnes.
The ill feeling probably comes on our part from all those last minute wins. On theirs it’s probably from the recent history of us raining on their parade.
Personally I find all the name calling (on both sides) rather infantile, but that may reflect my advancing years.

Given the title of the thread it was never going to be a thought provoking discourse, but, some of the 'banter' from both sides isn't worthy of a second glance it's beyond puerile.

Saints are the team to beat this year and we have in quite a big game so that will do for starters. As far as my RL history is concerned Widnes, Wigan then Salford the latter being personal to me. Saints weren't really on my radar well not in a "dislike" sense although this latest crop of fans, players and club officials are beginning to grate.

Leeds has never been relegated either.

No but they was spilt into Div 2.

Thrilled to bits....
The Red Vee have given RD a special primrose and blue 'Warning!Wire Fan' scrolling banner!

Don’t get giddy about it they giving that to any fan from any other team, superglue as it has does a Wigan fan have their version.

Its no loss rd..I got banned off Wigan's board for something rather trivial.. Keep posting on here pal..you brighten up the day on here

What more proof do we need that some Saints fans are obsessed with all things Wire. Love & hate are just 2 sides of the same coin .

However here we are with this daft (IMO) thread they're obsessed with us ironic doesn't even come into it.

Rubber Duckie and Superblue there's an APB out for you on Red Vee. Don't go all shy on us now.

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.
