I really do believe that this is a Warrington trait and i think it eminates with their fans too. I have been to millions of Wigan-Saints matches and never really seen the fans go off. Even when we had to walk through the home end at Knowsley Road. Banter but a true rivalry underneath but a begrudging respect for each other. Warrington from the players through to the fans just try to create bedlam to try and create a rival but will always be the bridesmaid.
