From a saints fan "I honestly can't stand their arrogance" I've heard everything now.

Im new to this forum so Im not sure how you lot are, the but wire fans round where we I live are unbearable! They brag based on the ASSUMPTION that you're going to win, I shudder to think at what they'd be like if you actually did win! You'd think winning the challenge cup makes you the best team in the world if you'd listen to them. Also, people I never even knew liked rugby are declaring themselves die hard Wire fans? It was a little bit strange!

What do you expect when you live in Warrington?

from a wire point of view,it's not the importance of beating you just to say at last "we've done it" it more the fact it gives the side more confidence should we play you in the cup or playoffs

IMO, confidence has been the issue for Wire for about three seasons. You should have beaten us a few times in that period but your heads went down and we gotcha. However, we aren't the same team we were and we weren't at Knowsley Road and we have yet to find our feet. That gave you a real chance to beat us and overcome your confidence issue. It's done now, thank God!

Ok, I posted yesterday saying that if we won there would be no gloating from me, and there isnt at all, enjoyed the game... However the one thing that saddened me was Eastmond at the end, your support on the whole stayed to clap the team off as they deserved (they put everything into it), I noticed Eastmond trotting off down the tunnel. That is a poor show, hope the situation is sorted soon, as he is doing nobody any favours..

Look forward to the next Wire Sts match they are always classics!

Never really meant anything to me other than it was a streak. It was more funny than anything else.

I always thought when we lost to them it would feel alot worse than it did. I was expecting a tirade of abuse and gloating from the Wire lot but it only came from a few people. I too felt relief last night that the run was ended. I'm just glad it didn't end at KR, I think that will always play on the Wire fans mind, even if they try and convince us otherwise.
