| Lot's of tasty looking games over the Easter period for Rugby League fans so which game is the biggest? What game are people looking forward to the most?
Our own meeting with Widnes is really only a match that the 'Vikings' see as a big game thesedays, and the Hull derby is the one I look forward to as a neutral.
But the current premier fixture of the English game isn't getting played next weekend and that is Warrington v Wigan.
Easter is a brilliant time for RL fans. I for one, can't wait for it!

| Wigan v Saints for me by a country mile. Not sure how neutrals see it but its got to be one of the most popular.
I do always enjoy the Hull derby, not sure if this year's will have the skill factor necessary for a classic though.

Not when it's played by two mid table teams, it isn't.

This years probably has the least hype since Rovers returned to SL, both sides are average at best and both sets of fans know it.

| The Bulls Leeds are usually always close encounters. Usually have some controversy
Think the Wigan Saints will be much better this year. Last year Saints weren't as good as previous years and I don't think the amount of times they played each other helped either.
The Hull games are usually fiery encounters and superbly attended. Although maybe less firery with this year if the RFL have their way. The shoulder charge penalty tonight shows what a ridiculous rule it is and how inconsistent it is!

| Wigan and Saints both look to be going in to the game a bit short of numbers but at least it seems to have evened itself out so there's no excuses for either side. I'm expecting a really good game on Friday with some really good young players on show.
I'm biased but it's the biggest derby imo simply for it's long term standing. Both clubs have been at the top of the game(bar the very odd year) for 25 years and the hype has always been there.

| Depends how you define biggest game?
I think all clubs want to win derbies so there's nothing more at stake in one game than another.
Attendances, you're looking at Wigan v Saints really or Leeds v Bradford.
In terms of locality, you're looking at Hull derby.
From a neutral point of view, I always look forward to the Leeds v Bradford derby. There's always something in that game that for some reason makes it nailbiting or enjoyable to watch.

| Since they took the biff out of the game most derbies are insipid affairs.

| Saints Vs Wigan for me the the best fixture over the easter holidays closely followed by the Hull derby. Tigers Vs Wakey is usually good but all the off-field stuff has got in the way over the last couple of seasons.

I dunno, I feel the Wakey v Cas games have got more of an edge to them now. Always enjoy beating Cas of course, but recently with all the off field events, it has become a lot more important to me that we win.

Presumably the "Wolves" don't see it as such? What a bizarre use of quotation marks.

| Wigan v Saints has the biggest appeal for me as a neutral; that will be the game that has the most potential to showcase the sport itself.
I've always enjoyed the Hull derby in the past, but given the indifferent form and lack of skill from both sides this season, it doesn't have the same appeal.
I'll have a dog in the fight at Cas v Wakey and expect that to be the personal highlight - should be a spicy one, low on flair but high on biff.
