Obviously the Hull derby (the only true derby) is by far and away the biggest fixture over the coming Easter period. Any other 'rivalry' in RL is mickey mouse in comparison.

So which is the second biggest game over the next few days? Wire v Widnes? Cas v Leeds? Mancs v Scousers? (sorry, I meant Wigan v St Helens). Any other?


A real feast of Rugby League in the next week and I for one can't wait.

You obviously don't know the origin of the term Derby in sport. I'll give you a clue, it has nothing to do with Hull.

Why are Hull fans so ridiculously bitter and desperate to be the "biggest derby" in Rugby?

Not much else to shout about?

They're from Hull, they need to have something to cling to !!

The Hull derby... The epitome of a mid table clash

We wish it was a mid table clash.

Bruce is a Rovers fan...

He's just a very bad troll

bloody hell, we're not that good

awesome thread title. Quality fishing!

The Hull derby is quite entertaining as youve got two similarly placed teams and a city about 10 seconds from a riot during and just after the game.
It can't even be played on a bank Holiday as the police can't deal with the aftermath.

What i personally like about the Saints?wigan derbies is that you can happily go in a pub full of wiganers in your Saints top and have a bloody good laugh and RL chat together. Bit of jesting and winding each other up, but nothing more than that

And long may it stay that way!

Dear oh dear. Silly old Bruce (banned from everywhere else) comes on here with his usual garbage and everybody jumps on board. Ignore him and he just might go away.

You can go in the pubs in hull and drink with black and whites and red and whites i have never had that problem its just the odd daft prat that causes problems and its the same no matter were you go

They have farv parnts & they're just not rart.

We don't say "rart". Isn't that a West Yorkshire thing? Other two are spot on though!

Ah, the old annual "Which Easter game is better"?

Never gets tired this. It's what makes the VT the home of serious debate (sic).

Tbf it's better than the usual topics, which just tend to be whatever popped into Jean's head whilst he was having a s**t.

The Hull game is the true derby in the game.

Wigan v Saints is actually the 'true' derby. Google it.

Saints / Wigan is the best derby by a mile. Too much hatred in the Hull derby for me.

How many you been to?

A couple of each.

So the first one can't have been that hate-filled as you went back?

Your mis-quoting me. I didn't say I didn't enjoy the Hull derby games. Can't wait for Thursday encounter. I said the Saints Vs Wigan is the better of the two.
