Once again. Correct.

Abosolutely right.



Beating saints means everything. Losing is heart-break

It means more than twice as much as any other game - Not only do you take the usual pride and joy from the victory, you take just as much pride and joy in their loss and suffering, and also sense relief that their loss and suffering is not yours.

Beating Saints as a Wigan fan means everything.



Pride. Passion. Blood. Sweat. Tears.



The best derby in Rugby League. Leeds v Bradford? Hull v Hull KR? No comparison.



Defeat isnt an option.

Beating Saints means waking up the next day and then smiling instead of waking up and then getting that sick feeling in the pit of your stomach as you remember the result.

Just get that warm glow inside.



Let's be honest, they've bossed it over the last decade, and barring the odd result they have well and truly had the upper hand. It has been a barometer of how far behind them we have been. Just get the feeling that it is hopefully our turn to sit in the driving seat for a while, and see how far ahead of them we are? Or am I getting carried away?



We are favourites for all competitions at the start of this season for the first time in a long time. Really hope we kick on and play to our potential so we can have the bragging rights back for a few years. We will see.

its nice....but then again its nice beating anyone.



no big deal any more....possibly down to the fact we got to playing them 4 times a season , which took the edge off it imo.



i get more of a buzz beating leeds

Sorry but I find that hard to believe. You sound like the saints fans who try to say that wire is a bigger game than wigan.



Its drilled into you as a Wigan fan from day one that beating saints is everything. Ask madge and any other coach/player what fans tell them. Beat saints and we're happy.



I personally would have swapped EVERY win over leeds under Nobby for one win over saints. NOTHING is bigger

To be fair AC, i personally get a slightly bigger buzz beating the small teams of Warrington and Huddersfield... dont get me wrong, the feeling after gubbing Stains is immense but gimme a win over those two especially Wire!! Hudds games are just a personal gripe of mine. Remember im not from Wigan and have only 7 years of watching Wigan so go easy! My Emma as you know is a Wigan lassie and her views on Stains are very different to mine, the mention of their name makes her swallow angrily! (ahem)

If Rangers n Caley were the top two teams in Scotland, you'd still get a bigger pleasure beating Celtic. Same applies.

Absolutely true!!! ive had the St Helens thing naturally drilled into me from day 1, infact that day 1 was just before the infamous cup game at knowsley rd and they've always been a team i disliked when i watched the odd game on telly in the 90's but my experiences have dictated that i have a stronger dislike/will to beat little Wire.. lets say Stains and little Wire are the Aberdeen and Ce***c of rl

When you read its history,

It's enough to make your heart grow sad,

God bless them.
