what i love about our derby is that you can have a laugh with the wigan fans before and after the match. We are very competative and wind each other up, but there is no real hatred, just a great day out

As one of the main papers said a few years ago in describing the Wigan v Saints derby.

Wigan v Saints is similar to that of the Celtic v Rangers, just less friendlier on the pitch rather than off it

im actually quite looking forward to this one now...no real nerves (yet) like there used to be before this game - but for the first time in a while I think it will be a cracker.

Pretty obvious really. The Hull derby is competitive, with two teams from the city (i.e. it's a real derby), with the most passionate fans in the game always packing both grounds.

Although to be fair your derby used to be great (about 10-15 years ago ).

Can only pack as many as it holds.

If you want to see which derby is biggest, check out the latest issue of Rugby League World magazine.

Apart from Wigan, I've got more friends at St Helens than any other club. Pre-match, they are generally a good bunch and for a derby, everybody is generally well behaved and in good spirits.

Still, I hate them and everything their club stands for.
