Hull derby probably is the best.

The others are not what they once was.
Saints - Warrington seems to have more intensity these days.

Really ? With all but one Super League fixture going Saints way that point is definately debatable. Wigan will always be our main derby.

Dunno distances but Wigoons closer. Only seperated by the no mans land that is Billinge.

I think Wigan - St Helens is about 6 miles, Warrington - St Helens about 8 or 9 miles.

Posted on the Wigan board.

So the Hell derby may be the only inter-city derby in SL, but they population of Hull compared to the population combined of St Helens and Wigan, who, per captia, has the bigger draw?

On top of that, look at the quality of players who have played for both clubs since the war, the Bostons, Murphy's, Karalius'. Special players.

Saints Wigan is THE stand out game in Rugby League.
