Back in the 'olden days' before Rugby League existed... I mean before Super League existed, for me it was always Widnes then Wigan, St Helens was just another fixture.



Widnes missing out on Super League and our inabilty to beat Saints mean't that Wigan and Saints overtook Widnes and now, even with Widnes back in the competition, Wigan and Saints are the fixtures I look forward to the most. I would love Widnes to establish themselves in SL, become a force again and retake their rightful place (in my mind at least) at the top of the fixture list.

widnes only because my wife is a demic and i love getting one over her (oooooooh matron)

for me its wigan then wigan reserves..then the scousers...dont see widnes as rivals its just another fixture to me...

If you say anything but Wigan you're lying. Cannot stand them and I don't care who knows it.



After that Widnes. As said above, I feel Saints has only existed in the Super League era (ie, when we lost to them every time).

Interesting that people from different generations suggest different teams, Wigan, Widnes, Stains get a mention. And with the older fans saying Widnes and the younger saying Wigan. Only a small sample so far but it makes interesting reading. Some people also seem to be confusing "Best fixture" with "Rivalry".



Also, just to get you throwing stones at me if you have not already started, Wigan and Stains fans would not be in any doubt who their rival is

Widnes are the true enemy, end of discussion. It is irrelevant where any of the teams currently lie in terms of league position or playing strength. When hull kr were languishing in the northern ford prem did they no longer become hull fc's most hated team? Of course not.

Now that's a sensible option.

its pie eaters for me everytime!!!!used to work with a load of pies in the sixties at monks hall,,horrible ppl,took me three years to work out what they were saying!!!,still see some of them at the games,easy too spot them though,they still wear the same sixties style clothing!

Wigan for me followed by Widnes then Saints. Saints was a big game but never up there.

Wigan without a doubt.



They are the biggest club in the world and have the biggest history of success which always made them the prime scalp from a historical point of view and also in the time where we have been good in recent years, it has been us and them that were the strongest teams. If we'd peaked a few years before then maybe we would have had big rivalry between us and Saints/Bradford but instead the main rivalry is with the Pies.



In recent years we have had a winning record against Wigan and they haven't beaten us very often so I can understand their fans enjoying more of a rivalry with Saints because it's more of a level playing field when those two meet.
