I am and have been a die hard Wigan fan for a great many years and therefore have never liked saints (or the bulls much either - unless they are playing saints). I have criticised them and their fans many times in these very pages (ask Nierin).

However I would just like to say that the minute's silence that took place before the season opener with the bulls was a tribute to both the clubs involved and Rugby League in general. I can never imagine the same happening in football. Not a word was heard and I felt very proud to be a follower of this great sport.

Friday night proved that no matter what the rivalry, some things are bigger than sport

I've got to say you were right about the minutes silence. I sat, like many others at home thinking that St. Helens fans would spoil the respect made by the players. I thought the sound on my tv was on mute because it upheld by every person in the stadium.

Well done to every person on the terraces that night.
