Both sets were superb.

The minutes silence brought a tear to my eye.

Kris Radlinski in his post match speech in the South Stand bar made a point of thanking you for your part.

The mutual respect is quite suprising despite the fact that Warrington is now the biggest game of the season for us both............ According to Warrington fans that is...

Warrington get their big game back next year.

Warrington are just desperate to matter. They finally have a team worth talking about but as they've never won a SL in my book they've not proved anything yet. Add in the fact they have quite a few older players it will be interesting to see if they can be a consistant force.

More than the players it will be interesting to see how long Tony Smith stays, he's a bit of a wander when it comes to coaching 3 years here, 3 years there and rumour has it Wigan are now looking for a coach.

Agree - an absolute credit to both clubs and the occasion. That goes to show why, no matter who you support, RL is [uTHE[/u game!!

Was thinking that too , will he fancy the task of taking on the transition they'll need or will he be off for a 'new challenge'. I think if Wigan thought they could pinch him they would.

Agree
When you look at age of their (Wire) squad it will need some serious investment, and I'm not sure that Tony Smith is that kind of coach.

I love this.

Dear me. A thread intended to be about the Wigan & Saints fans (Who were superb yesterday) ends up as a bitch against Wire. Very sad.

so will wigans , george carmont 33 paul deacon 32 andy coley 33 amos roberts stuart fieldan both wrong side of 30s there of the top of my head too , we all have a few older players

charnley or marsh will replace carmont, deacs will be replaced by joe mellor and hock is back in place of coley. Fielden will be ready for retiring when crosby is pushing for a first team place.

wigan and saints have a conveyor belt of youth coming through I don't think warringtons academy is at this level yet however they are significantly improved since Bastian came in.

hmm wonders whose academy is doing best this year?

Agreed. Fantastic atmosphere yesterday and the minutes silence was very well done by all fans.

Both sets of fans were a credit to their clubs, fantastic family atmosphere with some really good noise made throughout.

Just wait untill we take over Widnes later in the year

Not yet another Saints/Wigan love-in plus Wire bitchfeast....

We may never have won SL yet but that's about to change come October when whichever hapless team is put in front of us is put to the sword,and we've always been a bigger club than St Helens.

The Wire v Wigan or Wire v Saints is game is at least as big a game thesedays as Saints v Wigan.

And don't you worry,we'll be a consistent force for many years to come.

Alright then, seeing as nobody else is going to do it I will.

Fuck off.

Damn you swear filter!

You are too deluded to even try to reason with over this strange urge you have to be part of the big club circle.

I'm sorry but a game against wire will never match a game against the Saints. The history of our two great clubs makes the rivalry special and wire don't have that same success.

Wire move into a new stadium after years of financial troubles and poor crowds and then have two good years and suddenly they are a bigger club than the Saints hahaha.

Banter,arguments are great between fans.But a Wire fan saying that Warrington have allways been a bigger club than Saints is simply laughable.It's no wonder no one takes them seriously.

I missed the minutes silence and the first 10 mins of the game waiting for my mate to drive home and back at warp speed to get the tickets she'd forgotten lol

That is signature material mate. Congratulations!!!

You have your opinion. Fair enough. I have a different one and see us as a bigger club.

I just don't get these St Helens/Wigan love-ins though. Where's the rivalry in that???

as much as saints hate wigan and visa versa we will always respect each other interms of all the success
