| Quote: pmarrow "In all honesty who really cares ? You don't get an extra award for having the biggest derby. In short it will be a great weekend for RL, both Wigan / Saints and Hull / Rovers will pull in over 20,000+ crowds. A wigan or saints fans will say they have the bigger one same with Hull / Rovers, the main thing is that we will all expierence a good game that means alot to you over the next two days. So I couldn't care less whether people say ours or Wigans derby is bigger because come kick off tomorrow I won't give a poop. ![]()
Well said!
But Wigan v Saints is still bigger.

Perhaps not but for me it is a major part of the occasion. A derby for me is all about fierce rivalry and competition/one upman ship/bragging rights, the recent demise of Wigan has taken away this aspect for me, hopefully it will be reignited tonight.
As i said on another thread i am still more excited by tonight than i am or have been any other game this year simply because of the positive off field strides we have made in the last week. |

I was going to suggest that in the initial post except most people would not class it as a derby due to the locality. That is now the biggest rivalry i think locality differentiates between a rivarly and a derby.
Either way i think it is a shame that in my opinion anyway we are not really involved in either the biggest derby or rivalry as it stands in the game.
Just my thoughts on the matter and we all know what they count for....... |

Leeds vs Saints is probably the biggest derby. All the other derbies have been done to death, and in the case of Leeds Vs Bradford, and Saints vs Wigan arn't competetive anymore

Your right because why is it that every time the hull derby is played they have to kick off at 1pm or earlier to try and stop trouble could you imagine the hull derby kicking off at 8pm thats at least 9 hours of drinking if the pubs open at 11am. |
