Can someone please explain this Warrington obsession to me because I just don't get it? The way some of you keep yapping on you'd swear they've been our deadly rivals since the game went to 13 men.



Which is phucking odd because in nearly 25 years of watching Saints I don't ever, EVER recall Warrington making so much as a full stop of a mark on the Rugby League Richter Scale of Rivalry. Yes, they had a track record of dirty play between the arrival of Boyd and the retirement of Cullen - but not much else. Indeed, since Lydon's monster drop goal they've been a perennial basket case.



If we're using a measure of pain-inflicted-upon-us during this period as a guide - Widnes are bigger rivals. Christ! LEIGH are bigger rivals.



The truth of the matter is we currently have a handful of posters who a) can't take a bit of ribbing at work (despite holding the BEST record against an opponent in SL HISTORY!) and b) just love to wail about it like little babies who've had their cuddly toys taken from them. And BOY do they wail. They wail so much that occasionally it borders upon a tacit argument that Wire are more worthy of hate than WIGAN!?!? Now this IS crossing the line. Especially when - on results - Wire are more worthy of our sympathies than hatred.



It's like there's some kind of Orwellian historical distortion afoot here. It's perverse. It's groundless and it's phucking WRONG!

What a pathetic post. You have to much time on your hands.

Notice how it's dire fans that replied

As a Warrington fan it pains me to say that you're absolutely right. Regardless of the result tomorrow to say we have grounds to make up on Saints would be an understatement of biblical proportions.



I suspect the obsession relates to a feeling that Warrington are 'on the up' and that Saints might not be. However I've lost count of the number of years Saints have been 'in decline' only for them to hand us our twice a year, win the Challenge Cup and make the Grand Final.



Time will tell - although the first sign of the obsession residing will probably be when people stop starting threads about it.

Regal Trophy-91. Challenge cup last year. In terms of honours then we can't

compare to yourselves in the superleague era. Up until that point there

hadn't been much difference between the 2 since the Rugby league formed. You

seem to be one of few Saints fans who don't believe the rivalry to be of much

significance. In fact it reflects the attitude/arrogance you and many Saints fans

hold agains't other sides as you revel in your own self-importance among'st

a pitiful number of supporters relative to your success. I'm looking forward to

Friday when our legion of c.6000 supports out-sings your spoilt bunch and hope

that our team batter you all over the field. And this season is the start of your

clubs downfall and opportunity for your fans to change into real fans over the

coming years rather than the spoilt, moaning brigade your club seems to cultivate.

never back against Saints!

Quality post. Get them told.

A rivalry is the product of more than occasional and painful defeat- not a decade+ of foregone conclusions. Next you'll be claiming they've got WMD.

I cant believe Warrington fans got trolled on the Saints forum
