Sigh. I meant in terms of the lifespan of the current Saints squad. To wit, you can expect more of the same from hereon. Still, you had a good 8 months.

Remind me please how many wins compared to losses have you had against saints in s/l. Oh yeah just to remind you to wipe your feet when leaving your house.

The pies who beat you just last week? The same ones who has made you our grand final bitches?

Some interesting stats from the game:

Cooper - 79 metres from 14 carries at 6 per carry. 1 offload, 1 errors. 32 tackles, 2 missed
Philbin - 99 metres from 17 carries at 6 metres per carry. 1 offload, 0 errors. 26 tackles, 2 missed
Thompson - 112 metres from 16 carries at 7 per carry. 0 offloads, 0 errors. 33 tackles, 2 missed

Very similar stats average wise. Thompson doing more work as he didn't have any support from the bench I guess.

And then there is the only stat that counts.

Why the insult?

The one in October you mean?



I wasn't drawing any conclusions to those stats. But it's interesting that both the individual stats and team stats are very, very similar, with Warrington just edging it. More errors from Saints and more offloads from Warrington were key. A tale of you taking advantage of field position and us not, rather than Luke Thompson and co being demolished.

You will eventually convince yourself that Saints won last night, keep up the good work.

I came out of the game very pleased, but since watching the two muppets on redvee I feel embarrassed that we didn't put more on a severely depleted Saints side.
maybe we should just give them the two points, and perhaps the CC.

Yes them ones.

They'll get beat tonight...Lam just said the dreaded beaten coach line already..."we've trained well this week!"

Are they still banging on about being took to cleaners with there strongest team at Wembley...god give it a rest..now they're whining about linehams try last night and his comments after the billing they received. And the fact they had injuries.. Bitter isn't in it

At lot but we don't disappear for days on end sulking like a spoilt brat.how's McManus after Thursdays spanking..now hoover your caravan there's a good boy

When you dont know anything about me other than I support Warrington, how can your statement of "Maybe one day you'll be educated enough" be "Balanced and fair"?

It never fails.

Careful taking the mick out of Wigan on this thread duckie, we might find some common ground with the Saints fans

funny thing is, saints and wigan fans have been coming together to bash us for a while now.

Its nice to know that little old Warrington RLFC are making saints and wigan fans 'rugby friends'.

Happens all the time at my workplace. Funny how a club that has no significance to saints has them teaming up with and cheering on their so called enemies. Biggest derby in rugby league? Don't make me laugh. You will NEVER find a Hull fc fan wanting hull kr to win a game and vice versa.

It's only Billinge Lump that separates them.
Pity they've all got lumps for heads

Yes, the Hull Derby is just total hatred.

No common ground.

The difference is that Wigan and Saints come together to laugh at us as wannabes. They’ve earned that right by winning the big one.

The Hull hatred is real, but if there was a rowdy neighbour making waves without backing it up, they’d be quick to slap them down as well.

Warrington need to win the big one if they want to stop being looked down on.

They don't like a threat
...and Wire are the biggest.

It comes down to being comfortable with traditional rivalries. Wigan and Saints fans are probably more used to accepting a rivalry with each other and Leeds (and Bradford back in the day). Challenge from the likes of Warrington or Hull is more unsettling, as deep down it pricks away at them as a kind of rivalry they shouldn't have to deal with.

It's similar to football - during United's period of dominance, it felt like the rivalry they respected the most was with Arsenal in Wenger's early days. When they faced challenge from Blackburn or Newcastle they saw these clubs as fleeting upstarts who were easily seen off. When it was Chelsea or City, they were enraged and ranted about them buying the league, having no history and ruining the game with money.

For me Wigan have always been our No1 rival (apart from when they were relegated obviously) possibly down to being from N-le-W.
The more a team’s supporters try to belittle us the more I see it as their worry that we are legitimate challengers.

Spot on apart its widnes for me it's a compliment if we didnt matter why all the fuss?

Btw I'm still away did we win

I have never wanted Saints to win a game
