I want Warrington to win, without any hesitation whatsoever.

It's an interesting debate though, and I think in alot of cases it will depend on how long people have supported Saints. Anybody who had to endure the smug arrogance of the Wigan fans during the early 90's will find it hard to want them to win any game, regardless of opposition. This includes WCC games against Aussie opposition. Unless Saints were directly affected by the outcome, its hard to envisage any scenario in which I would want Wigan to win.

This is not an attempt to rile any Wigan fans, just me being honest.

Is it possible for both sides to lose?

Either way it comes down to who I think we'd stand the best chance against if we get through and meet them in the next round.

Is this a genuine question?

Wire to win both upcoming games without a moment's hesitation.

Yes their fans are extraordinarily irritating. But this is WIGAN we're talking about. Two years of Wire arrogance compared to a lifetime of being brought up to despise the old enemy and everything nthey stand for

That's more like it.



My mate Jimmy reckons if Saints were playing for his life he'd still want them to lose.

Quite right too. I'd be v surprised if any Saints fan aged 30+ could bring themselves to wish Wigan well

I started supporting Saints in '93 after Dux came home from the Premiership Final and was telling me all about it, then started showing me videas of matches etc, I started attending matches shortly after including Boxing Day '93 when we got trounced. That means that my first couple of seasons were under Eric Huhges, who never mananged a single victory over Wigan - so I had to wait until Superleague 1 and shaun McCrae to even get a victory over those os.

I want Wigan to win. Most people I know are Warrington fans and they're unbearable enough as it is. Also, being in the same situation with both sets of fans (having just been smashed at Widnes and having to share a platform and train with them all), I just got insulted by every Wire fan that I came close to, the Wiganers just wanted to talk about the rugby and were all round classier in victory.

I'm 26 and believe me that is easily old enough to hate them!!

It's a lot tougher of a question than it was 3 or 4 years ago. CC game, Warrington by plenty. If Wigan played Wire in the Grand Final however, it would be a hell of a lot closer. Really enjoy the fact that Wire think they're a big club, but until they win the big one, they can't be classed as such. I've been used to Wigan winning things since I started watching Saints (I'm 30 now) and as much as I hate them, I certainly respect them and the majority of their fans as well.

I can't honestly say I hate Warrington...yet!
It's been drilled into me from a very young that Saints are the arch-enemy, and forgive me, but I can never find myself wanting a saints try never mind win!

I feel the same about Bradford than I do Warrington TBH. A few more years might change that...

Wire every time.

I've a few Warrington supporting friends and my Grandad played for them so I hope they win

Although I've a lot of respect for Wigan as a club I would find it hard to support them over any other Super League team. I did watch the WCC hoping they'd win but did enjoy it when they were outclassed I'm afraid

Brill.

A Wigan win to pee off the Wire =#FF0000and Saints fans would be so much sweeter.

Here's a question. Which clubs lead the list of who we like to see win?

Cas seem to be quite popular amonst the neutrals, as do Les Cats, probably due to how far removed they are geographically.

Any others?

Cats & Quins for me.
My two favourite away trips.

Harlequins RL, Catalans and Crusaders. After that probably Cas then work your way up from the bottom of the table. That said, if Salford were playing against a Yorkshire team I'd want Salford to win.

Anybody know the scenarios for the semi finals, if we qualify for the semi finals I don,t want to be driving over to the Huddersfield ground as we don,t always perform there. So I suppose if wire win and we draw the wire there might be a possibility of playing at the DW stadium, would be happy with that.

I don't think so, Latics have a friendly at Home on 7th August

wires for ever and a day against the pies.

I want Warrington to win

Strangely i am looking forward to seeing this match more than watching the Saints v Hull KR match.

I suppose its down to the fact its the two best teams in the competition slugging it out.
Wire with the best offence and Wigan with the best defence.
Wigan desperate to get to the new Wembley and Wire desperate not to lose their grip on the cup.

The key thing is that both teams know that whoever wins this match, will be hot favourites to win the cup.
It will take an extra special performance from any other team to defeat either of these sides in either the Semi final or Final.

Warrington for me just

As a Wire, if it's Saint v Wigan it's Saints to win every time for me.

Catalans, Salford and Widnes for me

Id rather wigan win too.
mainly because I do like Tony Smith.

hes probably the best coach in SL, but he is one smarmy b$stard

also for the same reasons as everyone else.
