    I know, going to watch the two best rugby league teams in the world play each other 10 minutes up the road is really mind boggling.

    Additionally at 30 years of age I’m able to see beyond one team being the rivals of my supported team, and put having a good day before childish sensitivity.


    If Wigan win (which I doubt) and want to brag then so be it. If saints win things do we not say anything?

    Ok then the current champions from either hemisphere (kind of the same thing).

    The fact that some people find this idea so bewildering is kind of funny. Other than when they play us, I couldn’t care less if Wigan win or lose.

    I stopped taking you seriously at ‘the two best rugby league teams in the world’, what a ridiculous statement. It’s nothing to do with childish sensitivity why would you want to go and watch your arch rivals play in a game that if they win will be celebrating like mad. Any serious Liverpool fan wouldn’t go and watch United play against Barcelona in the champions league final even if they could go for free. When did I say Wigan can’t brag, the point I was making was why would you want to go to watch a game that is massive to them and could be the biggest of their season. Can we lock this thread and pretend it never happened before any one takes the p1ss out of us?

    Still the team to beat i think when you consider they have the two wingrs to come back; pace all over the pitch.

    The last thing I’ll do is base myself on a bunch of fans (football fans) who get more joy out of their rivals misery than they get from there own teams success.

    End of the day, it’s a cheap day out and could be a good game and an opportunity to watch some of the best players in the world. I’ll sleep fine that night if Wigan win or not, then should saints win there next game it’s win win.

    One is made of glass and the other won’t get into the team when all 4 are fit anyway (if that even happens). They’ve lost their best player, haven’t replaced him and have a new coach. Whilst we’re only 2 games in they don’t look like the team to beat at all.

    Your decision I suppose but I couldn’t disagree with you more.

    Any true Saints fan NEVER watches the Goons playing unless they are playing Saints.

    11,000 for the first home game of the season against Leeds isn’t great really.

    He got it put on report but really it should be him who’s penalised. I don’t have any faith that he will be but trying to interfere with a player’s airways is an old, nasty trick that should be dealt with.

    When the touring teams came over we tried to get to as many club and International games as we could.
    Cool story bro

    I went to watch Manly play Wigan at Central Park years ago.
    Similarly I went to the Widnes v Canberra match at Old Trafford.
    They were both great Rugby occasions and it was a rare chance to see some of the great Australian players.

    These days I don't think the WCC is as much of an occasion.
    I think the trophy doesn't have much credibility.

    I agree. My main focus for going is a chance to see Sydney play and the world class players within that team. I think Sydney wipe the floor with Wigan if they are on there game and put the effort in but we will see.
