Given your logo is a skull I take it you'll be stabbing tourists on the bridge leading to the DW that we see you filtering down when you are on Sky with 20 minutes to go?

Or are you more of a flare and mass fighting in the stands organisation?

How many of you are there?

It will always mean a lot to turn the Pies over but over the last 5 years or so the rivalry with Leeds grew greater with a lot of St Helens supporters as we were fighting it out for honours every season while Wigan were average.

However......

With Wigan returning from the wilderness and Leeds probably in transition the Pies will be the team to beat for us Saints fans.

Probably the best feeling i've ever had leaving a game was after our legendary 41-6 tonking of Wigan at christmas 1992. The first time we'd give them such a hiding in my lifetime.

Now Wigan are back on top, beating them is even sweeter, not since the start of superleague have we both been the top two teams at the same time, the real derby is back, bring it on !

It's always been the best derby in Super League, due to the quality both teams have.
Hull KR vs Hull FC still has along way to go

Yet Wigan have beat Saints more in the Superleague era than Saints have beat Wigan. Most strange.

Not really since 96 have we both been good sides at the same time is what I was getting at

When faced with a superior rival in terms of support, history and form I'd be inclined to seek out the easy option too!

was gonna say the same thing - when Wire start winning it will be Salford
