Hiya,
I have to do a short presentation on st helens rlfc to pass my access course, and need a few comments from fans about why the st helens v wigan match is so important to you (rivalry etc)

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Woah, I didn't say Wigan wasn't a big game or wasn't important. I was just playing up to the fact that the Wire game is pretty important to me.

The Wigan game is still a big game (I do have Wigan friends aswell) and I'd have them ranked similar in terms of importance to me, purely because of rivalry in my town (not living in St. Helens). They'd be more important if they were actually any good these days. The intensity of the derby certainly helsp make a derby important.

forget wire and leeds,wigan is the one.i think a lot of the younger posters dont think so because they have never seen a strong wigan team.but those of us who saw wigan take platt and connolly from us,beat us twice in three years at wembley,27/0 included,saw them sign every best player that came available and packed over 15,000 every other week into central park will see why.
thats why now when we beat them,every victory is sweat.the 75/0,the grand final,cardiff,any victory.wigan rl has more tradition than warrington,thats why the fixture is better.
for me,there is no better fixture than playing wigan.i only wish it was still on boxing day,that was the best of the lot!

Wigan is still the big one for me. Warrington is a good derby and Leeds is huge due to it being the top 2 teams competeing, but Wigan is an old rivalry, wiht local bragging rights and pride at stake.

Warrington are the better games, more competitive, but has to be the goonies for me, just to laugh at my brother, who jumped on the bandwagon in the 80's and can't get off now

I never claimed you did say that.

All i was saying is to me personally Wigan games aren't particularly important and i rank Wire and Leeds above them in terms of the fixtures/derbies i look forward to the most.
