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

Full marks to those who have managed to post without mentioning Wire.

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...)

Some of the fans I know are not taking it well at all!

Pity you couldn't.

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.

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.

Well said that person

Great game , great fans

we are ALL good fans thats what makes RL the best team sport in the world

Yes but did all those instances really happen?

You can not deny that, in recent times especially, Warrington don't have a problem with a minority of supporters causing trouble. More than most SL clubs.
