| Quote: SaintsFan "I think you might have this wrong, although I can't speak for all Saints fans obviously. What we at the match saw yesterday were two things: some very worried Wigan fans (like Saints fans, you go quiet when you're worried) and a Saints team that just lacked the cutting edge. We missed a halfback who could kick (the only way we would have overcome your defence in the first half). With the exception of the Stobart match, when we were trounced in every aspect of the game, Saints fans have been able to come away from our matches against Wigan knowing that we were just a bit off. 75-0 was great fun and we made the most of it while it lasted. But that isn't the only thing that rivalry is about. It's about believing that we can 'do you' next time out, and Saints have shown their fans just enough to know that that is a possibility. And I believe Wigan fans know that too. That makes for a quality rivalry (but not a fun one!).
This.
Banter in the ground and on here, but mutual respect. Dire need to learn some of this. I didn't enjoy one minute of yesterday until the final whistle and that show's how worried I get when we play. Especially in big games. Well done to your fans who the vast majority stayed at the end. Respect.
One last thing though:
Wemberley wemberley we're the famous Wigan rugby and we're going to wemberley

Good Post. I've really enjoyed the banter with Saints fans in the last few years (it just seems to have become so much more enjoyable) and it was great yesterday to be able to mix with opposing fans, discuss the match and receive congratulations and well wishes, it's what distinguishes (most of) us from football fans and makes RL a better sport.

Bit of both IMO.
Saints fans compare very favourably to Wire fans, who have always been let down by a larger-than-average yob element, and who are still a bit new to following a top side, and, surprisingly, Leeds, where, taking their cue from their chairman, they seem unable to handle the realisation that they are not as good as they thought they were. |

| Posted something on the wire board last week about how the game brings out the hatred for 80 minutes but apart from that there is a clear mutual respect between both clubs and sets of supporters.
As usual on there, I was shot down.. their main ammunition being 'its not a big rivalry because you both like eachother' etc...
I think when Warrington or both Hull clubs hear 'rivalry' they automatically think hatred, baiting away fans and bricking coaches, no place for it in RL. Over the last 3/4 season I've really started to enjoy the Wigan-Saints derby. Closely fought contests and a cracking atmosphere for the whole game, long may it continue!
Back on topic, I thought our fans were great yesterday, really roared on the boys with passion and I think the players knew that. Anyway, enjoy your day out a Wem-ber-leee  |

Had a few beers with Saints fans before game and had beers with Saints fans after the game.
I hate St Helens, they're a biggest rivals, they are our enemy, I love beating them more than any club....
But I'd rather have a beer, banter and Rugby discussion with St Helenser more than any other supporter.
(Oh, and I live with one...)

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.......
I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

Rugby league must be a great game to survive the people who run it.
Never argue with an idiot. He will bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_4916.gif |

Never thought I would say this but I have enjoyed watching Saints this year and think they have some fantastic younger players. Like every other Wigan fan I want to beat them each and every time we play them but that doesn't stop me from having some respect for the way they play and that game yesterday really should have been the final, nothing quite like a Wigan Saints game for me

It's no exaggeration to say that Wigan and Saints' youth set ups and production lines are on a completely different level from any other SL club. If only all other clubs produced even a third of the talent Wigan and Saints do, we'd be able to take on the Aussies on an even footing. |

You are right, Wigan fans were getting worried when Saints scored two tries to get within 6 points. There is still the GF to play for and and I wouldn't be surprised if Wigan have to play Saints again. Losses, whilst they are not pleasant at the time, only increase the desire to win next time. That is why Wigan supporters are enjoying the current run of wins. If the two teams meet again this season then lets hope the game will be even better than the CC semi.

Must admit by the time we left the ground we saw hardly any, of the ones I know phones were suspiciously switched off and texts sent remain unanswered.

Thanks to all the Wigan fans for the nice remarks.
I really enjoyed the game yesterday and to be fair the best team won.
I have family who live in Wigan and they have been giving it large over the last 24 hours and who can blame them,if the boot was on the other foot I would do exactly the same.

You were shot down because you chatted balls about Wire fans causing trouble....When we reminded you of instances of Saints fans causing trouble you disappeared...
