Reckon both sets of fans will be holding fire till the squads are announced on Wednesday, safe to say both teams will have some sore bodies this weekend and you never know what the disciplinary will come up with.

Spot on, it won’t get going until we know the teams.

Speaking as a Saints fan I hope you stuff them.

All the hype talk out of Merseyside was about ‘Theee Derby’ when really the big game is Wire.
Wigan have known it for over a century, you seldom read posts about ‘theee Derby’ from Wigan, rather it’s a derby. Wigan have a long history with Wire….the biff says it all.

So it seems only now the fans of a team with no history before Alex Murphy are seeing it too. Wire living rent free.

I love it how people are fighting over who our biggest rivals are. I don't mind just as long as we all agree who is top dog

I made a post about Saints before GF and how Wigan needs Saints and they need us. That's who are main rivals are imo.

That GF game was epic and make no mistake about it - it doesn't happen without either club. Saints Vs Wire isn't the same, Wigan Vs Wire too.

It was everything that should be praised about RL. A proper long-standing rivalry, two passionate sets of fans & two sides full of academy produced players.

I’m envious, I wish I was as young as you.

There is no doubt that Saints are our biggest rivals and, following them, id say Leigh

Wire fans are always trying to make themselves relevant with Wigan and Saints fans.

Typical small club mentality really.
