| Wigan v saints will always be the big game, just because it's saints. Saying that though Saturday is massive. Does any one really want to listen to the dire fans crowing on about being champions all next year, and the other half is a dire fan so if we lose I'm movin out.

It's a massive game, one that we've been looking forward to for years.
Still isn't the same for us as the great comeback of 2010. Of course it should be even bigger for the Warrington fans, they have the chance to put a cap on this great era for them, against a big local rival.

| Its not even comparable to 2010 in my opinion. 2010 Everyone knew we was going to win deep down, we were clearly a better side than Saints and was head and shoulders above everyone all season. This one seriously is a toss of a coin job. The rivalry between us and Warrington in recent seasons has far more bitterness and dislike to it than we play Saints. Saints has become "the friendly derby" were everyone holds hands and tells eachother how well they played. There is no respect between Wigan and Warrington, there is a genuine dislike between the fans . Very similar I suppose to the Manchester derby, one team has dominated the sport for large periods but the other has crept up on them and become a major threat
Im dreading Saturday, it will be one of them "turn away when the other team have the ball" kind of games. Losing to Warrington would be utterly unbearable, we'd never hear the last of it. However, winning would be very, very sweet. To do the double and do it against these lot would be the perfect ending to a season were many wrote off Wigan before the season started.

| Grand final is always MASSIVE. Wigan have alot less pressure as they are going for the double and warrington haven't claimed a championship for 58 years. I would say the game is bigger for warrington in that respect, for them to lose would be unbearable and they would have to wonder if they were ever going to claim another championship. Obviously it wouldn't be a bed of roses for wigan to lose either but they haven't had the time between drinks that warrington have.
