Apart from Hull obviously, who do you guys consider your biggest rivals after that? And who do you think considers you one of their bigger rivals?

Donny, those games used to be proper heated back in the day.

From our time in the lower leagues games v Leigh, Fev and Donny always had a bit of extra spice.

In SL, imo Huddersfield. Can't stand them

Snap can't be doing with Huddersfield, always enjoy playing Cas tho.

Warrington.

A tougher question than you might think. Pre-SL it was easy, but now its really hard to see beyond Hull for both questions. Everyone else is so far behind as to be irrelevant in rivalry terms. Its an easier question for Hull fans, as they used Leeds as a [isurrogate Rovers [/ifor years when we were fannying about in the National Leagues.

For me it's Leeds, not in terms of on-the-field because they still way ahead of us, but atmosphere and that 'big occassion' feeling, definitely them. Every match against them always feels huge, and the East Stand just has that extra passion and noise usually only reserved for Hull.

When we first played Leeds in SL (that glorious Saturday night Sky game when we beat them 22-20 IIRC

) I didn't mind them at the time and had a lot of respect for them, but since then with their dirty tactics, crowding the ref after every decision against them and nonstop whinging captain (put that gum shield back in you tw*t!

), I've developed a really strong dislike for them, and took great pleasure watching Wigan give them a beating last month.



So anyway, Leeds for me.

Might be worth watching last seasons win at Craven Park and listening to Kevin Sinfield aftermatch interview - very, very magnanimous and humble in defeat...

On the pitch though......

Leaving Hull aside then, it must be Leeds. Always a great atmosphere when we play them and feels more like a derby than any other.

Must re-iterate Huddersfield are my most disliked team, wether this is down to their success against us probably or their style of rugby possibly.

I watched that again only last weekend, and he was indeed, despite the best efforts of Bill Arthur who repeatedly tossed him an excuse only for Sinfield to rebuke it.

Cant see Leeds thinking of either Hull side as a rival TBH, Leeds/Bradford they would say; then i reckon Saints/Wigan come before either Hull side for them,

East Vs West is our derby end of, Just like wigan/saints, leeds/bradford, cas/wakey.
